Eventhough I was between da ages of (3-8) when da ? was in his prime,he was still my first favorite rapper.He was da first rapper to feature on a Michael Jackson album,Im not sure but I think he was da first to feature on a Janet song too.U can say he opened da door for Biggie,wit being da first fat ? wit "swag",Big even shouted ? out on Juicy "I used to read word up magizine ,salt n pepa and heavy d up in da limosine ,hangin pictures on my wall". Then blessed Big wit a feature on his album in 93.

When living in Mt. Vernon, it was not uncommon to see Hev just hanging out in front of the barber shop or pizza spot ........ Dude gave back by helping the summer basketball league and throwing free BBQ's with Kid Capri & Pete Rock on the wheels ...... he had mad celebrities hanging out up in Mt.Vernon
Hev also did MadTv theme song
Hev also put it down for his Reggae roots ...... Super Cat & Heavy D - Dem No Worry We
and his 2009 Reggae album, Vibes
And let's not forget his movement on tv and in movies ...... Hev was doing it big ..... r.i.p. -

Heavy D one of the GOATS, in an era where gangsta rap was taking over he still dropped hit after hit. He had a track on I think the New Jersey Drive soundtrack that was dope
