The Big Tymers were an American hip-hop duo from New Orleans .
biography
After Bryan Williams founded the Cash Money label with his brother Ronald , he participated regularly with label producer Mannie Fresh as featured artists on the label's publications. They called themselves Big Tymers and in 1998 they released their first LP How You Luv That? out. When the label entered into a cooperation with Universal Records in the same year , the album was revised and released a second time. Both versions made it to the top 25 of the US R&B charts.
The breakthrough for the duo came in 2000 with the album I Got That Work , which made it to number 1 on the R&B and number 3 of the official charts and sold over a million times ( platinum status). Her third album Hood Rich , which was released two years later, was even more successful . This made it to number 1 on the official album charts and with Still Fly they had a single hit that narrowly missed the Top 10 of the Hot 100 . The album was again a million seller.
The next album Big Money Heavyweight was released at the end of 2003 and could not build on the previous successes. But it still reached number 21 and sold half a million times. Shortly thereafter, Mannie Fresh left the label and began a solo career, with which the Big Tymers came to an end. Baby Williams then worked with Lil Wayne and later published as Birdman .
