Heavy Gold - Tha Testa (Forever Musik/Stay Gettin' Entertainment)

In the past couple months, I've posted an announcement of Heavy Gold's signing to Epic Records and written a City Paper feature about the dude. But I still hadn't gotten around to posting a little something about his current solo mixtape, Tha Testa, which is available as a free download on DatPiff. It's a cool low key mixtape from right before he got signed, lotta freestyles, a few original beats from Forever Musik and from Stay Gettin', and Kuntre from SGE hosts the disc (by the way, Stay Gettin' is still working with Cam'ron, and produced 2 tracks on the Public Enemy #1 mixtape he released last week, "Why They" and "Callette," which are tracks 2 and 13 on the first disc). There's also guest appearances from Tony Bosco (another MC signed with Stay Gettin') and the "I'm So Fly" remix with Skarr and Bossman and D.O.G. and Barnes and all them. Heavy Gold also did an interview with hiphopgame.com recently, and he's performing at the big Bossman show at Fletcher's this week.

Heavy Gold - "Who Dat" (mp3)
This is Gold's single, might be the first song that Epic puts some official promotion behind, it's catchy and has a good concept, I think Stay Gettin' did the beat.
