Heavy D & The Boyz — Living Large...


Aided by the skeletal and funky rhythms created by DJ Eddie F and Teddy Riley, Heavy D [& The Boyz] debuts with a pop rap album. The rhythms are accessible and decent, with some guessed samples; the rapping is pretty soft/light. Some tracks sound better than others, especially in the first part, then the record is reduced to generic rhythms, trivial hooks and never inspired lyrics. Closes a ballad (with a nice synth in the background) which turns out to be among the best choices here, 6/10.
