I am heart broken to confirm that rapper/actor & legend Heavy D has passed away today. Id like to bet that he is one of the catalysts for hip hop becoming main stream and crossing over. It was voiced by the legendary Grandmaster Flash today on twitter...then echoed by the well respected journalist dream hampton, but of course no one wants to believe such a thing.
It is reported that the cops were called to his home in California and upon arrival he was alive and speaking, TMZ is reporting that he died shortly thereafter. An investigation is ongoing.
Ironically his last tweets were RIP to Boxing legend Joe Frazier who passed away just yesterday. My prayers go out up for his family. I believe he has a little girl, my heart aches for her. He was 44.
Salute!
I CAN;t BELIEVE THIS KK!
