TCB RECORDS www.tcbrecords.net BIG CHEEF - RAP ARTIST nspired by such rappers as Run D.M.C., U.T.F.O., and the Fat Boys Big Cheef founded a love for rap music and it's culture in the early eighties. Songs such as "Space Cowboy", "Bite It", and "That's The Way It Is", laid the pavement for what is now known as Ghetto Strong. As Cheef grew with the music, he began to store pages and pages of lyrics in his head. Hanging around at the studio with "Snake" (Tony Scony), opened a pathway for Cheef to lay down the foundation for his lyrical realm. At the age of fifteen, he began developing a style of his own. Though never completing high school, Cheef's days were spent on the street as a "Young Hustla", committing everything from auto theft to sales and distribution. Living this life embedded the ingredients that make Cheef Ghetto Strong. Cheef started rhyming in local sessions and becoming more known in the area. After realizing there's a better future than one of selling drugs in Ghetto Island, he decided to put his money where his heart is, make a career of his lyrical talent, and independently release his own album. Ghetto Strong, the first single, is a compilation of street prophecies and visions. Holding true to his talents, Big Cheef's debut release is ridden with Ghetto stories laced over a Hustla's heartbeat. Big Cheef is an artist whose vision encompasses the masses of the Fourth World Country, The Ghetto. He proves to be in a field of his own. No other story is like his. No other experience is like his. No other style is like his. No other Island is like his island. Ghetto Island. This is what makes Big Cheef Ghetto Strong.
