Troy Dixon (October 19, 1967 – July 15, 1990), better known as Trouble T Roy, was a hip-hop dancer with the group Heavy D and the Boyz from 1987 until his death in 1990. On July 14, 1990, while on tour in Indianapolis, Dixon and others were playing around after a performance and walking on a raised exit ramp outside Market Square Arena. During the commotion, someone pushed a trash barrel down the ramp. Dixon got on the ledge to avoid the barrel, however he lost his balance and fell from a height of approximately two stories. He was rushed to a hospital, but died the next day of injuries he had suffered, at age 22. His death was ruled an accident. Heavy D and the Boyz dedicated their next album, Peaceful Journey, to his memory in 1991. Pete Rock & CL Smooth dedicated their song "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)" to him in 1992. Pete Rock discussed the song's genesis in a 2007 interview with The Village Voice: I had a friend of mine that passed away, and it was a shock to the community. I was kind of depressed when I made it.
