Artist History
Twista first gained national recognition as the first Loud recording artist in the early 1990s under the name Tongue Twista, and prior to that was known as Cavalier when pioneering a tongue-defying lyrical style between singing and speech indigenous to Chicago's West Side and popularized by major-label compatriots Do Or Die and Crucial Conflict. As Tongue Twista, he was even honored by the Guiness Book Of World Records as the "fastest rapper in the world."Twista then enjoyed a resurgence of popularity with his guest rhymes on Do Or Die's "Po' Pimp" single on Houston's Rap-A-Lot label, which peaked at No.1 during its 37 weeks on the Billboard rap singles chart finally going multi-platinum as certified by the Recording Industry Association of America. The phenomenal success of his verse on Do Or Die's first single brought Twista to the attention of Atlantic Records, and after a fierce bidding war, Twista landed at Atlantic for his album "Adreneline Rush," and then with his group The Speedknot Mobstaz' "Mobstability." Adreneline Rush was certified Gold (over 500,000 copies sold in music industry parlayance), and Mobstability close to it. The success of both of these records caused Twista to become a "rapper's rapper," which gained him recognition from the likes of Puffy, Scarface, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, Master P, the Ruff Ryders, UGK, Bizzy Bone and others. His influence is far-reaching. In 1999, Twista gained his freedom from Atlantic Records and started his own label, Legit Ballin' Entertainment. Legit Ballin' is poised for huge success!!! Watch us soar.... |
