Biography
Queens, N.Y. has given birth to some of the realest, grittiest, and most hardcore emcees in hip-hop. While other emcees claim they are hardcore, claim they sell drugs, or say that they will kill you, Big Noyd is that emcee who will back all that up. Originally known for his stellar performances on countless Mobb Deep songs, his verse on "Give Up The Goods (Just Step)" was probably most memorable. Around the time Mobb Deep released "The Infamous", Big Noyd had a record deal with Tommy Boy. His debut album "Episodes Of A Hustla" was an un-balanced and short affair that was practically cut short because of jail-time and his arrest for attempted murder. Out of the 11 tracks, one of them was an intro, two of them were skits, and one was a remixed version of a previous track on the album. While "Episodes Of A Hustla" was extremely short for a hip-hop album, the production by Havoc and guest spots by Mobb Deep and Infamous Mobb made it just as gritty and hardcore as any Mobb Deep album. While some emcees are known for their jewels and other emcees are known for punch lines, Big Noyd is known for his hardcore realistic street credibility. Along with Cormega, Big Noyd is one of the realest street emcees ever to rock a microphone. After many run-ins with the police, Big Noyd came back into the spotlight with his song-stealing middle verse on Mobb Deep's single with Vita "The Learning (Burn)". After years of collaborations and being in the background, Big Noyd has returned with his sophomore album "Only The Strong" on Landspeed Records. With production by Havoc, Alchemist, and Noyd himself, "Only The Strong" has thick, sinister and gritty beats that fans of Mobb Deep have loved. "Shoot Em Up (Bang Bang)" has been featured on many mix-tapes and has become a modern street anthem. In a time where vocal samples are being used constantly, "Shoot Em Up (Bang Bang)" has a vocal sample thats both creative, original, and sinister. It has been said that only the strong survive. Big Noyd is without question, one of the strong. We here at Mixtapeone.com
