Reggae was always a passion of mine. I used to say in interviews that I would love to do a reggae album. But it consumed my life being a hip-hop artist and being Heavy D, which I'm happy and proud of.

I started young. My first record came out when I was - what? 18? So I was in the studio when I was 15, 16.

As an artist, there were different levels in my career that brought me to a realization that I am what you would call a pure artist. And I don't say that with any type of vanity.

The hardest thing for an artist to do is to let go. I don't wanna be the dude - if you come to my house, there are no pictures circa '86 in my house.

I'm not one of those pop guys. That's for wimps like Vanilla Ice.

His name is Michael Jackson, not Super Michael Jackson. He makes mistakes just like all

I aim my music at the hip black hip-hop audience.

There's something about being any kind of entertainer that is acting. You have to put on a show. Things you wouldn't do in your life, you do on stage. You have to let go. And that's extra hard for rappers. We have a tendency to, quote unquote, keep it real. As an actor, you have to be able to humiliate yourself. Do whatever it takes.

I was in California the first time I heard Michael Jackson wanted to record with me. I was, like, 'Nah, no way, he's too big, it can't be true.' Then I got a call from Michael's people at my hotel telling me he was interested. But I still wasn't believing it - I thought they were setting me up for a TV practical jokes show.
The Los Angeles coroner's office said that Heavy D died of natural causes. The cause of his death was a pulmonary embolism and deep-leg vein thrombosis. He also had arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
