-0599315 (BC-BPI-RHYTHMBLUES) HEAVY DUTY: Look for Heavy D to sign a production deal with Bad Boy Records. As VP of A&R at Uptown Records in the early â¡90s, he worked with a young upstart known as Sean „Puffy“ Combs. Now, Combs, head of Bad Boy, looks ready to reunite with his colleague. „I just donâ¡t want the responsibility of running a label,“ says Heavy D, who had risen to the role of president at Uptown. After the ink has dried on the deal, Heavy D says, he expects to sign „a few artists, and will kick off early in the millennium.“ HEAVY D.
