Biography:
Comprised of Bryan "Baby" Williams, Cash Money Records` co-founder, and Mannie Fresh, the label`s in-house producer, Big Tymers incorporated substantial outside talent into their ranks and scored some huge hits in the process. Beginning with the duo`s first release in 1998, How You Luv That? (re-released as How You Luv That?, Vol. 2 later that year), Big Tymers featured all of the rappers on Cash Money`s roster: initially Lil` Wayne, BG, Juvenile, and Turk; later T.Q., Boo, and Gotti; and others as well. This plethora of outside assistance served many purposes, among them promoting the label`s solo artists and also taking some of the spotlight off from Williams and Fresh, who admittedly weren`t two of the label`s better rappers, recognized instead for their overly brash style of ghetto haughtiness. The two drastically improved their rapping, and more importantly their songwriting, for I Got That Work (2000) and Hood Rich (2002), their second and third albums, respectively. These albums spawned two sizable hits a piece -- "Get Your Roll On" and "#1 Stunna" on the former, "Still Fly" and "Oh Yeah!" on the latter -- and made Big Tymers the most consistent Cash Money act following the departure of Juvenile from the label.
