DJ Cable x RTD - Big Tyme: A Tribute To Heavy D

When I heard that Heavy D had passed away last week, it had me trippin' on elementary school memories. Heav was one of the true stars within the Hip-Hop game, if you look at how his music crossed over, as well as his different acting opportunities. He's got a grip of classics in the chamber, and I was literally going through Heavy Hitz like "damn, Heavy had it". Crazy how the act of not remembering your past can make you forget things like that. In any case, I figured a tribute mix would be needed, outside of Mister Cee and DJ Premier and the other selectors out there. I know Heavy came through when the New Jack Swing phase of Hip-Hop and R&B was in full effect, and my UK bredren DJ Cable is big on that '90s flavor, so I asked him to sort out a tribute mix for RTD. This one came about pretty quickly, track-wise, and the final mix landed in my inbox overnight. 52 minutes of funk, spanning a number of Heavy's tracks, as well as features that he's done for both Michael and Janet Jackson, among other bits. Spread the word on this one, forreal. And once again, Rest In Power, Heavy D. And a big shout to Squincy Jones for knocking out the artwork for us.
