• Heavy D continued his 90s resurgence with the release of the multi-genre Nuttin but Love in 1994. Calling on the likes of heavyweight producers Erick Sermon, the Trackmasters, Marley Marl, Teddy Riley, Kid Capri, Easy Mo Bee, and fellow money earnin Mount Vernon native Pete Rock, Hev ventures into slow-jam R&B as well as his usual catchy hip-hop offerings on this funky album. The first single, "Got Me Waiting," fueled by a sample from Luther Vandross "Dont You Know That?" registered some success as did the follow-up "Nuttin but Love," which featured an MTV video with a number of up-and-coming supermodels at the time, testimony to the Overweight Lovers Casanova persona. Pete Rocks production is particularly tight including the up-tempo "Black Coffee." While the heavy-handed quiet storm stuff is trite and repetitive, it does not damage the overall pleasurability of the album. Heavy Ds respect among the hip-hop community is evidenced by guest appearances (some simply spoken intros) from the likes of LL Cool J, KRS-One, Queen Latifah, and Q-Tip, to name a few. A solid release from a slick hip-hop king. ~ M.F. DiBella

Professional Reviews: Entertainment Weekly (6/24/94 - 7/1/94, p.102) - 7/1/94, p.102) - "...NUTTIN doesnt stray far from affairs of the heart. A safe bet for the Mount Vernon rapper, but with all of hip-hops gangsterism, its a refreshingly safe bet..."

- Rating: B

Q (9/94, p.100) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...Laid across a sturdy musical foundation or rolling jazzy melodies and crisp beats..."

NME (Magazine) (7/16/94, p.37) - 6 (out of 10) - "...he brought a streetwise romanticism to rap, allied to the occasional tune with a social conscience just to ensure that everybody knows what side of the fence hes on..."
