Heavy D, DJ Eddie F, Marley Marl, Pete Rock, Teddy Riley, Al B. Sure!, and Nevelle Hodge all contributed to the album. The record is particularly significant for containing some of Pete Rock’s earliest production work, including “Mood for Love,” “A Better Land,” “Big Tyme,” and “Let It Flow.”The album’s sound moves between hard-edged rap, funk, soul, R&B, and new jack swing. “We Got Our Own Thang” features Teddy Riley’s production and became one of the group’s best-known recordings, while “Somebody for Me” demonstrates the smoother R&B side of Heavy D’s music. “Mood for Love” incorporates a Jamaican-influenced approach, adding another dimension to the album’s sound.Heavy D & the Boyz – Big Tyme was a major commercial success, reaching number 19 on the Billboard 200 and number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. It was also certified platinum, making it the group’s most successful album at that point.The album was supported by four singles: “We Got Our Own Thang,” “Somebody for Me,” “Gyrlz, They Love Me,” and “Big Tyme.” Its success helped establish Heavy D as one of the most recognizable rappers of the late 1980s and strengthened Uptown Records’ position in the developing crossover between hip-hop, R&B, and new jack swing.
