I grew up in the 80’s listening to “The Over Weight Lover” Heavy D. His rap style was always upbeat, which made you get up and jam. 💃. I miss him and those days… Side note, he played in the movie “Life”. Thanks Lamont, great job as usual.

I remember Heavy D remade the song "Now That We Found Love" and that's about it. Oddly enough, Lamont was recently at the grave of William Powell of the O'Jays who was a member of the band the O'Jays that made the original song.

[@gr3181]

Yes! Love the Remake Version Heavy D made of "Now that We Found Love" by the Late William Powell of the OJays. You Gotta listen to Heavy D's Other Hits "Got Nothin But Love For U Baby", Overweight Lova in Da House" and so many more. Just his Karisma & Dancing made his songs much more enjoyable😊
