From Yahoo:
Popular '90s rapper Heavy D died Tuesday, the L.A. Coroner Chief Craig Harvey told People. He was 44 years old.
"He was transported from a residence in Beverly Hills and was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead in the emergency room," Harvey told People. "The cause of death is yet to be determined; we're investigating it now. We do know that he last saw his doctor two weeks ago."
According to TMZ, the artist, whose real name is Dwight Arrington Myers, was pronounced dead at 1 p.m. today after being taken to a Los Angeles hospital.
At around 11:25 a.m., a 911 call was reportedly made, reporting an unconscious male outside.
TMZ reports that the "Now That We Found Love" rapper was conscious and talking when he was taken to the hospital.
There are reportedly no signs of foul play.
Heavy D appears in the Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy film "Tower Heist" and performed an old school set at the BET Hip-Hop Awards in October.

Heavy D was one of my first favorites. I remember standing in front of the TV practicing the "Heavy D kickstep". One of my all time favorites. Much of his music is on my MP3 player now. I keep it in constant rotation.
This is from when Rap was fun, not like it is today. Back when it had smooth lyrics without being disgusting or rude.
One of my favorite songs:
