The
Big Tymers are a
rap group, consisting of
Mannie Fresh, and
Brian "Baby" Williams. They are produced by
Cash Money Records, a label created by "
Baby" and his
brother,
Ron "Sugar Slim" Williams in
1992.
"
New Orleans hip-hop has its own
unique flavor steeped in the city's
rich musical tradition. It blends both the traditional sounds and styles of
jazz,
second-line (a form of Brass jazz played at funerals),
zydeco, and a smattering of
gospel with more modern sounds of
funk,
old school hip-hop,
dancehall reggae and
New Orleans'
bounce music. Add to that a
milky pimp-like flow
spiced with New Orleans'
distinct drawl and
street slang and what you have are
Cash Money Records Mannie Fresh and [Brian "Baby" Williams[, the
duo that
comprise Big Tymers."
Baby and Mannie met eachother through a
mutual friend, and once Mannie found out about Baby's
musical talent he decided that they could work together, and that's how they started. Big Tymers wasn't
officially started yet, however, and the two were just
messing around together. Their big start was when they had a guest appearance on the
Hot Boys LP "
Get It How You Live" which gave them some
serious exposure. They then released their own
album in
1998 when Mannie joined up with the Cash Money bros. and continued making
appearances with the
Hot Boys and
Juvenile.
