HEAVY IN MY LIFE BIG TYME I am STILL in shock about the news of the passing of Heavy D. It is almost like a bad dream. I sat up late last night and began listening to several of his songs and realized that each song outlined a particular period in my life. I have always felt that I was raised by music but this became VERY apparent in the wee hours of today. I remember riding my bike to Soundwaves Record store to buy the cassette…yes I said cassette of the BIG TYME album. I almost crashed my bike getting home to listen, I was so excited! I remember seeing him in those rayon shirts and oak tree suits dancing with Trouble T-Roy and G. Wiz…back in the day and being in my living room trying to mimic the moves…EPIC!!!!!! I had the chance to briefly interact with him during my time with John Legend and he was super cool. I was quietly super geeked that I was able to talk to him. His songs are attached to SO many memories of my upbringing. The news of his passing leaves me with NO WORDS… I put together a playlist on Spotify of some of my favorite james. You can check it out HERE Below is my one of my favorite joints by him
