Being reported by TMZ

Rap legend Heavy D - one of the most influential rappers of the '90s -- died earlier today .. TMZ has learned. Heavy D - real name Dwight Arrington Myers -- was rushed to an L.A. hospital around noon today ... and was pronounced dead at the hospital at 1 PM. He was 44 years old. We've learned a 911 call was placed from Heavy's Beverly Hills home around 11:25 AM to report an unconscious male on the walkway. When help arrived, we're told Heavy D was conscious and speaking - and was transported to a nearby hospital. He died a short time later."


Loved his music and collaborations. "Now That We've Found Love" is still a very good song

RIP Heavy D!

He wasn't just a great rapper either, he was a great producer. His work on artists like Soul for Real and Monifah was excellent.
