JT The Bigga Figga

San Francisco-based rapper JT the Bigga Figga became the subject of considerable underground buzz thanks to the success of his self-released 1993 LP Playaz n' the Game; a major-label bidding war ensued, and he ultimately signed with Priority to issue 1995′s Dwellin' in tha Labb. Don't Stop til We Major followed a year later, and in 1997 JT returned with Game Tight. Game for Sale was issued in early 2001. In 2002, JT’s own Get Low label kicked into high gear, releasing four JT albums: Know About It with Tha Gamblaz, Gotta Get It with Juvenile, Hustle Relentless, and the guest star-filled Street Warz. The double CD Project Poetry hit the streets in 2003 while both Neighborhood Superstarz and Who Grind Like Us? landed in 2005. ~ Jason Ankeny
