Heavy D, most popular in the late 80’s through mid-90’s, was a multi-talent. He was a pioneer in the game, one of the first to successfully pull off being a rapper, producer, singer, and actor. He was responsible for writing the hit theme song to hit comedy shows In living Color and MADtv. Heavy D recently performed live for the first time in 15 years at the 2011 B.E.T. Hip Hop Awards.
