Psycho Les, Al Tariq, & Problemz AKA BIG CITY
From their classic Beatnuts albums like Intoxicated Demons, Street Level & Stone Crazy, Take It or Squeeze It, to the underground smashes like Al Tariq's God Connections and Missin Linx's Exhibit A EP, the trio has always been a favorite amongst Hip-Hop fans.
Psycho Les, a Hip-Hop veteran and producer extraordinaire, has a production record not to be overlooked, boasting classic Beatnuts' production credits like: Off The Books, Watch Out Now, and No Escapin This. Al Tariq aka Fashion, although some may not know, was a founding member of The Beatnuts and played an important role in the group�s first 3 Albums. In 1998, he left the group to pursue a solo career, so this recent formation of Big City is the unofficial reunion of Tariq and Les since the late 90s. Most remember Problemz as a member of the group Missin Linx, as his lyrical double time flow is reminiscent of The Golden Era of Hip-Hop.
Now for the first time, all three join forces to form Big City. Their groundbreaking album, The City Never Sleeps, consists of 13 hard-hitting tracks with each member going back and forth over beats that all produced by Psycho Les. The humorous trio stays away from telling false stores that many MCs use today to earn street credibility. Instead, their music tells stores and paints pictures of everyday experiences and fantasies like an unforgettable party, an extremely sexy female, and not to forget that one bottle of alcohol or bag of marijuana that leaves a permanent memory in one�s life. Snapping drums, never heard before samples, and funky hors are a quality factor that sticks out in Big City�s music, so whether in need for a club banger, a street anthem, or a hood classic --- Big City is your answer!
