About Me
There's an old saying: Rap is something you do; hip-hop is something you live. No truer words have been used to describe this music and culture. And no individual more truly embodies the second part of this maxim than DJ Big Napp-turntable technician, producer, and now, MC. Borne out of his daily operation to restore skills, soul and integrity to hip hop (ingredients that have been sorely neglected in recent times), Year Round Incorporated, DJ Big Napp's very own independent entertainment company, is finally now a reality. *******Though DJ Big Napp is renown as both a member of one of hip hop's most respected groups, Nappy Head Assassins, and Fireproof, there's an equally valuable if less celebrated aspect to his tireless work: championing new and unheralded talent. DJ Big Napp has been a crucial figure in the early development of some of rap music's modern legends specifically, Sid Swift., EMc, and Wyatt when all were still relatively unknown, emerging artists, and went on to collaborate on classic records with each. And he continues to seek out new underground records with an honest enthusiasm and passion that few of his peers possess. *****"Lately, I've been doing tracks for a lot of cats that normally couldn't really afford me, but have enough potential to deserve a track from me. With Big Napp Ent, I'm focusing on these kinds of artists-the ones who are really gonna be a force to be reckoned with." ****Beat wise, DJ Big Napp literally stands hip hop history on its head-taking the bass-dominated rumble of the break beat classic "Aim 4 DA Sky" to Fireproof "Change" to EMc's "Word True") and re-working it into a new, brilliantly syncopated groove that bounces with the fervor of the original. Very simply, it is one of the illest creations of his already esteemed career. With the equally hard-hitting "Like Me" holding down 2morrows Never Promised Movie Soundtrack, Fireproof Music LLC and Big Napp Ent. possess one of the strongest singles of 2007. Working on several projects such as The Nappy Head Assassins, Fireproof, Rojay, Wyatt, Cash Boy, Sid Swift, EMc, and his own solo project. DJ Big Napp is a sound and voice the industry will hear from for a very long time. Napp says, "If you are a serious artist and need tracks, I will work out a great deal for your project."
