Heavy is the fourth studio album by American singer SiR, released on March 22, 2024, by Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE). The album includes guest features from Isaiah Rashad, Ty Dolla $ign, Anderson .Paak, Ab-Soul and Scribz Riley, with production coming from Cardiak, J. White, Rascal, Noiz and D.K. the Punisher, among others. Heavy also marks Sir's first independent project with TDE in six years since 2018's November, as 2019's Chasing Summer was released in conjunction with RCA.
An expanded deluxe version of the album, subtitled The Light, was released on April 4, 2025; over a year after its original release.[1]
In August 2019, Sir released his third album Chasing Summer, which served as Sir's major label debut with RCA. The album featured guest appearances from Kendrick Lamar, Smino, Lil Wayne and Jill Scott, among others.[2][3][4] Within the five years leading up to his sophomore album, Sir dealt with drug and alcohol addiction, as well as depression and infidelity towards his wife. He would take himself to rehab a number of times between 2021 and 2022, delaying the album further from its intended late 2022 release.[5] The album's subject matter reflected on these bouts, with Sir stating in an interview with Grammy.com that this would be "the most personal I will ever be".[6]
