RIP Heavy D (1967-2011)
Heavy D
I can’t believe that one of my favorite Hip-hop artists is gone way too soon. According to the website TMZ.com, Heavy D, born Dwight Arrington Myers, has died an hour after being rushed in a Los Angeles hospital for an apparent heart attack although the cause of death is unknown pending on the L.A. County coroner’s autopsy results. He was 44.
Under his group Heavy D and the Boyz, he was one of the most popular artists in the urban scene with hits such as “We Got Out Own Thang”, “Somebody for Me”, “Gyrlz, They Love Me” and ”Now That We Found Love”, along being the voice behind the theme song of Fox’s hit show In Living Color and on the hit song “Jam” from the late Michael Jackson’s very underrated album Dangerous.
Damn, this news is definitely a wakeup call because life on this planet is short and very treacherous and we don’t how far we will go.
RIP Heavy D. You will be missed among real Hip-hop fans.
