Heavy bread is an uncommon American slang term for a large amount of money — significant cash or substantial financial reward. 'Bread' has been used as slang for money in Black American vernacular (from Cockney rhyming slang 'bread and honey' = money, later absorbed into broader usage), and 'heavy' intensifies the quantity. The phrase is rare enough that it reads as slightly dated or hip-hop inflected, used to emphasise both the size and the weight of a financial sum.
He walked out of that deal with some heavy bread and finally paid off his debts.
