Big
Tim (The Landlord)
Young
and restless, 19-year old microphone phenomenon Big Tim has got big plans.
Having proven himself in countless rap battles and underground mix tapes his
critics and fans alike await the debut album “Eviction”.
Eviction
is a collection of party jams, street speak and rips on what Big T calls soft
ass rappers. “When people hear my album I want them to say that I basically
tried to keep it real. Hip Hop is about the streets and living for the
streets.” Big Tim a.k.a Big T
goes on to say, "I show people every aspect of life. I say some bad things
that I've done and witnessed some good things that I've done. But the good
outweigh the bad. I'm young and a lot of things I talk about on the album are
things that older people may experience.
This
explosive album opens up big with the Club Jam “Get Live” this songs has
radio written all over it. There are a few street joints (no pun intended)
called “Pine” and “Eviction”. Big Tim intelligently places a song on the
album called “O-The Satisfaction” and a big shout out to the Hispanic
community by having rap veteran GQ guest appearing on the song called Hey. “I
want people to know that I know what’s up in the streets on this album” says
Big T.
Born
in Palatka, Florida Big grew up on both R&B and hip-hop. "The first
song I ever learned was "Back to Life” by Soul 2 Soul,” he recalls.
"That was a song I used to dance to and just sing all day when I was
younger."
As
he grew Big T, inspired by Master P and Juvenile, got more serious about his
eventual career and started rehearsing with another friend called Tim forming
the duo TNT. A year later, the aspiring talent beat a case of stage fright and
began entering local talent shows. Big Tim won a spot on a national tour
featuring R&B singer Shannon Williams.
With
a successful tour under his belt Big Tim went in the studio with a mission in
mind. “I want to set the O on Fire. We have had a few people come from Orlando
but they mishandled their mission,” he says. Big Tim soon picked up another
nick name “The Landlord”. His
mission is clear. To evict all the soft rappers and bring back the atmosphere
that first fueled rap. The arena of men discussing their environment.
