Big Tymers

Big Tymers was a hip-hop duo consisting of rappers Bryan "Baby" Williams (known later as Birdman) and Mannie Fresh. Formed in the late 1990s, Big Tymers emerged from New Orleans, Louisiana, and quickly gained prominence in the Southern hip-hop scene for their flashy style, charismatic personas, and infectious beats.

The duo's music is characterized by its heavy use of synth-driven production, catchy hooks, and playful lyricism, often celebrating themes of wealth, success, and living a lavish lifestyle. Mannie Fresh's innovative production style, known for its distinctive bounce and energetic rhythms, provided the perfect backdrop for Birdman's charismatic delivery and larger-than-life persona.

Big Tymers released their debut album, "How You Luv That", in 1998, which showcased their unique blend of Southern hip-hop and bounce music. The album received positive reviews and established the duo as rising stars in the rap world. Tracks like "Player's Lifestyle" and "Stun'n" became fan favorites and helped solidify Big Tymers' reputation as purveyors of infectious party anthems.

The duo achieved commercial success with their subsequent albums, including "I Got That Work" (2000) and "Hood Rich" (2002), both of which spawned hit singles and further solidified their status as hip-hop heavyweights. Songs like "Get Your Roll On" and "Still Fly" became chart-topping hits and cemented Big Tymers' legacy as pioneers of Southern hip-hop.

Despite their success as a duo, Big Tymers eventually disbanded as Mannie Fresh pursued a solo career and Birdman focused on building his record label, Cash Money Records. However, their impact on the hip-hop genre continues to be felt, with their music influencing subsequent generations of artists and producers. With their infectious energy, innovative production, and larger-than-life personas, Big Tymers left an indelible mark on the rap world and remain revered as legends of Southern hip-hop.
