Big War has been into music since the age of 4. Now, at age 20, he feels he’s almost at the top of his game. He first started rapping 4 years ago, just for fun, in his high school cafeteria. After more and more people kept telling him about the talent he possessed, he started to take it more seriously. With the aid of Twigz (of Fam Or Nothin), his lyrical skills got better and better. After graduating high school, he put out a couple of songs independently, and received many positive responses. Offers came in for free studio time and record deal meetings, but having already making prior career decisions, War paid them no attention. It wasn’t until he was in the Navy that his career would take a major turnaround. Discovered by CEO Dwayne(H.Q) Hassell and Mark (Swade Caliburnus )Ross while
in Australia, Big War became the newest addition to the Davarciti Entertainment family. Since then, Big War has been featured on numerous songs on the DVC mixtape, “Tales From The Bang’um,Chapter 1”, and upon departure from the
military, he has done collaborations with his NY family" Fam Or Nothin", and many more songs with his close friends Roi’yal and Contraban from Finish’em Records. As of now, War is working on his album, “Willing And Ready”, scheduled to release May 2005 under the Davarciti Entertainment shield. The album will contain
collaborations with various members of DVC, Fam Or Nothin, and Finish’em Records. A very close friend, a new producer by the name of Amateur, will produce the album.
