The Boyz were G-Wiz (born Glen Parrish), "Trouble" T. Roy (born Troy Dixon), and DJ Eddie F (born Edward Ferrell). The group maintained a sizable audience in the United States through most of the 1990s.
Heavy D was born Dwight Errington Myers on 24 May 1967 in Jamaica. His family moved to Mount Vernon, New York when he was a young child.
Heavy D & the Boyz were the first group signed to Uptown Records; their debut, Living Large, was released in 1987 (see 1987 in music). The album was a commercial success, though Big Tyme (1989, 1989 in music) was a breakthrough that included four hits. Trouble T. Roy died at age 22 in a stage accident on 15 July 1990 (see 1990 in music), which led to a tribute on the follow-up platinum album, Peaceful Journey (1991, 1991 in music). Pete Rock & CL Smooth created a tribute to Trouble T. Roy called "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)" which is regarded as a hip-hop classic.
Heavy D & the Boyz gained more fans by appearing in the theme song for the television program In Living Color and also MADtv ,and Heavy D performed the rap on Michael Jackson's hit single "Jam." However, the group's next album, Blue Funk, was a critical and commercial failure compared to their previous success. Heavy D then began focusing on his acting, appearing in the television shows Roc and Living Single before returning the music charts with Nuttin' But Love (1994, 1994 in music). After appearing in the off-Broadway play Riff Raff at Circle Repertory Company, Heavy D returned to recording with the hit Waterbed Hev. He then acted in the motion pictures Life and The Cider House Rules before joining the cast of the television show Boston Public. In 1997, Heavy D collaborated with B.B. King on his duets album Deuces Wild rapping in the song "Keep It Coming." A new Heavy D & the Boyz album is slated for 2007.
Heavy D died on November 8, 2011 in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 44. He collapsed outside of his Beverly Hills home.

Black coffee, no sugar, no cream
That's the kind of girl I need down with my team
Black coffee, no sugar, no cream
That's the kind of girl I need down with my team
Black coffee, no sugar, no cream
That's the kind of girl I need down with my team
Black coffee, no sugar, no cream
It's just the way I like it
I need a girl who ain't scared to scrap
Someone who got my back
Gotta be a dark skin, a light skin
Like the type of girl that stays busy all day
But when the sun goes down
She's my sexy soufle
Somebody real who ain't afraid to work it
If you try to disrespect her face
Around and get her feelings hurt
She ain't [unverified] from your [unverified]
She'll only flex with a brother that can handle it, a
And I don't care if she's a little bit jealous
She can still be a lady while she's coolin' with the fellas
An intellectual, beautiful, sexual
Hands on her hip and when she flips she's incredible
Candlelight [unverified] from her mack
But she's a trooper if she has to spill the beans from the can
A very nice girl but not mistaken for no softy
And that's the way I like it, yeah, my black coffee
Black coffee, no sugar, no cream
That's the kind of girl I need down with my team
Black coffee, no sugar, no cream
That's the kind of girl I need down with my team
Black coffee, no sugar, no cream
That's the kind of girl I need down with my team
Black coffee, no sugar, no cream
It's just the way I like it
Black coffee got the flip like a mitten
Roars like a lion and when I stroke her kitten
Versatile when the coke gets mine
She got a positive style ain't had none in a while
Party animal but Biggie only when she with me
And I don't have to worry 'cause she won't disrespect me
She's everything that a man dreams about
And when I'm with my crew she's all I talk about, hey
Fancy here, jewels all flushed
Backside bigger than a mob but don't touch her
Prettiest girl she know the ones with the slip
A closet full of gear so you know she stay [unverified]
Body so smooth from using plenty lotion
Perfume smelling like some old sex potion
A very nice girl but not mistaken for no softy
And that's the way I want it, yeah, my black coffee
Black coffee, no sugar, no cream
That's the kind of girl I need down with my team
Black coffee, no sugar, no cream
That's the kind of girl I need down with my team
Black coffee, no sugar, no cream
That's the kind of girl I need down with my team
Black coffee, no sugar, no cream
It's just the way I like it
Break it down
Black coffee, no sugar, no cream
Black coffee, no sugar, no cream
Black coffee, no sugar, no cream
Black coffee, no sugar, no cream
Black coffee, the African queen
Part of [unverified] Afro-American dream
Enough respect, I'm diggin' intellect
Appreciate the fact that you never miss a step
The backbone of the black bone here's to ya
As long as I'm around believe me none could ever do ya
You warm, considerate and far from a softie
And that's why I love ya, you're my black coffee
Black coffee, no sugar, no cream
That's the kind of girl I need down with my team

The song "Nuttin' But Love" by Heavy D & The Boyz talks about the rapper's search for the perfect woman to be by his side. The repeated phrase "Black coffee, no sugar, no cream," refers to the kind of girl he wants – someone who is straightforward and honest, without any artificial ingredients or traits. The lyrics mention that this woman should be strong-willed and unafraid to stand up for herself, as well as being capable of being "one of the fellas" while still maintaining her femininity.
Throughout "Nuttin' But Love," several specific characteristics of the ideal partner are mentioned. Heavy D explains that he wants someone who is dark-skinned or light-skinned, and who remains busy throughout the day. However, when the night comes, she should transform into a sultry vixen, ready to seduce him. He also details that she should be well-rounded – able to party and have fun, but also be intelligent and intellectually stimulating. Heavy D emphasizes the importance of respect, making it clear that he wants a partner who will never disrespect either him or herself.
In sum, this song illustrates Heavy D's ideal mate, who is confident, intellectual, and beautiful. He wants a woman who is unafraid to be herself and who respects him and herself. The repeated phrase of "Black coffee, no sugar, no cream" highlights the need for authenticity and honesty.

Chris Tucker, Kim Porter, Cynthia Bailey, Rebecca Gayheart (Noxzema Girl) 😁 Back when videos were cool and creative. The lady's blend of flavors were lovely here and the looks they give with the adlibs are adorable. They definitely don't make them like this anymore. Rest easy Heavy D and Kim Porter 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Most Definitely...Really Miss Tha Supreme Realness Of This Video And It Looks Like They Actually Had Fun Making It....Noxema Got Me Tho...LOL
@MrGenoboss
Heavy D represented positivity in hip hop and still had the respect of the streets. thats hard to do.
@dedricderesenn6424
That’s the thing about the golden era. You didn’t have to be street to be respected in the streets. That’s why you had shows that features N.W.A., P.E., Heavy D & the Boyz, so on and so on all on the same bill. You could listen to Tribe and then Brotha Lynch Hung back to back and nobody trip. That’s what these young cats don’t understand. Hev will always be one of the Kings for this video alone.
@4theloveoffashion959
How do you think he did it?
@toreytownsend4705
Exactly!!!
