Pittsburgh Area Rapper Hardo Busted With Heroin   A Pittsburgh
area rapper is in a world of trouble. Hardo, born Joseph
Barnett, Jr., 21, was stopped by police in Wilkinsburg, Penn. on
Sept. 10 for running a red light. While he was detained, the
cops allegedly spotted a shopping bag with 250 baggies of heroin
in his car and he was arrested.   CBS Pittsburgh reports
that Barnett was not carrying ID and was driving with a
suspended license. He also supposedly tried to run away before
being tackled to the ground by authorities.  Hardo appeared on
Mac Miller's MTV show--the two met at Taylor Allderdice high
school--and The Fader even referred to the rapper as Miller's
"muscle." However, reps from Miller's label, Rostrum, told Hip-
Hop Wired that Hardo is not affiliated. Hardo, who was recently
in jail for a parole violation stemming from his trip to Los
Angeles to kick it with Miller, allegedly recently signed a $3
million dollar deal with Atlantic Records, with the aide of
T.I., according to CBS Pittsburgh.  Howe
