Hip-Hop Albums of the Year

Heavy D & The Boyz — Big Tyme


Heavy D returns with the group for the second studio album. This effort gives us a glimpse of new jack swing and R&B vibes during all listening. Also, thanks to a fine production (frenetic and minimal rhythms) and several excellent samples (The Meters, George Clinton, Zapp, Lyn Collins, Pointer Sisters, but above all James Brown), Heavy D manages to come up with some honest pieces. The best is "You Ain't Heard Nuttin Yet": splendid rhythm with perfect sample by "Mr. Magic" by Grover Washington, Jr., simple, essential, not too tight, punctual and impeccable delivery by the rapper. 6/10.
