Biography

Pioneering, eclectic, and always ahead of his time, Big Gipp is someone who takes what he does very seriously. As a founding member of the revolutionary hip-hop group the Goodie Mob and a card-carrying member of the extended Atlanta-based collective known as Dungeon Family (which counts OutKast in its ranks), together, these two forces have helped re-shape hip-hop by always being a step ahead of everybody else. Gipp’s clever, politically charged raps (and astute fashion sense) make him a key player in a universe dominated by flashy characters with the gift of gab but little substance. On Mutant Mind Frame, his spectacular debut album, Big Gipp makes it clear that he can be as biting and distinctive as a solo artist as he can be with the Goodie Mob.

“People always considered our music and our presentation different than everybody else’s,” he explains. “If people go back and listen to OutKast’s ‘Get Up, Get Out,’ which is the first song the public ever heard Gipp on, I call myself a mutant in that song and it was something that just stuck with me because I felt like we were outsiders in the music business who weren’t geared to what New York and Los Angeles were doing at the time.”Fortunately, Gipp continues to set trends in his music rather than follow them. The album’s lead single “Steppin’ Out,” showcases Gipp delivering a smooth-flowing knock-out punch of a flow that will be embraced by hip-hoppers around the world. Aided by a velvety chorus courtesy of long-time collaborator Sleepy Brown, “Steppin’ Out” is the perfect showcase for Gipp’s player-inclined lyrics.
