Send to a FriendBig Tymers for Mayor! Cash Money Records co-CEO Bryan "Baby" Williams and Cash Money in-house producer Mannie Fresh, collectively known as the untouchable rap duo, the Big Tymers, are men of the people. Despite the commercial saturation of hip-hop, there is one thing that keeps hip-hop music untainted, innovative and captivating -- the undying connection to the streets. And no rap group connects with the streets, the people, better than the Big Tymers.

The Grammy-nominated New Orleans rap pioneers continue their trend of landmark releases with the forthcoming chart buster Big Money Heavy Weight. Fresh and Baby exhibit a dynamic chemistry working together. "We were just hustlers," Baby says, "we were used to keeping our artists on the grind. Fresh was the producer. I was the co-CEO with my brother. Time brings on a change. That's how it came out like this." With lively tag-team lyrics, Baby's "lovable" attitude and Fresh's magical musical abilities, the Big Tymers maintain their reign as the Starsky & Hutch of rap music.
Often noted for their fetish for flash, the Big Tymers have taken a detour and returned to their humble beginnings on Big Money Heavy Weight. "It's for the hood," Fresh explains of the new album, "we ain't really going flashy on it. The best way to explain the mode that we're in right now is Cutlass, Monte Carlo and Regal music. That's our market and that's where we're trying to stay until they get tired of hearing it."
Big Tymers
To keep listeners from getting restless, Big Tymers have perfected their signature sound. Fresh manned the bulk of the tracks providing the classic Cash Money sound, a hybrid of hip-hop, funk, and bounce beats while Baby offered his 'honor among men' outlook. Meanwhile, down south beat maker, Jazze Pha, put the golden touch on the album with his "crunk" version of that special southern music mojo. The most prominent tracks include the nightclub friendly "Hypnotic," which pays homage to the popular drink, and the single, "Gangster Girl," a hip-bouncing R. Kelly collaboration. "Gangster Girl" puts a new spin on one of Cash Money's hit records according to Fresh, "It's sort of like a 'Project Chick' 2004." Furthermore, Big Tymers take it straight to the streets on the ghetto inspired "That's What Ni*%as Like," a tribute to some of Big Tymers' favorite pastimes, while "Got Everything" displays Baby doing what he does best, pontificating flamboyantly. However, if it were not for such national chart-topping smashes as "Get Your Roll On" and "#1 Stunna," the Big Tymers would not be where they are today with Big Money Heavy Weight.
Baby and Mannie graduated to legendary duo status after an impromptu guest appearance on B.G's underground classic, It's All On U Vol. 2. The guest appearance was well received, resulting in the birth of the Big Tymers. The Big Tymers went on to record their independent underground masterpiece How U Luv That Vol. I(1998), followed by How U Luv that Vol. II(1998), their first national release on Cash Money Records and Universal Records joint venture. Soon after came the platinum-plus jewels: I Got That Work (2000) and Cash Money's first #1 Billboard debut, Hood Rich (2002), which also yielded the Grammy nomination for the hood anthem "Still Fly."
With Big Money Heavy Weight, the Big Tymers have created another musical movement, one that deals with style as much as substance. "We were just some dudes that blew up and we just wanted to rap about it," Fresh says, "That was cool then but, we got to go back to where we came from and do something different. It's being true to your fan base."
