This song caught the attention of 106.1 KMEL's radio personality Big Von Johnson and become an instant HIT! "Welcome to the Bay" was the number one requested song in the bay for over 6 weeks and stayed in heavy rotation for almost a year. Later that year Big Rich and The Done Deal Fam recorded a record that would change the Bay Area rap scene forever. Big Rich and his group also teamed up with Bay Area rap legends San Quinn and Willie Hen to form the Super Group "Done Deal Fam" and released the album "…Runs in the Family" in 2002. Both albums have sold a combined 50,000 units.
Big Rich and his group released 2 successful independent albums, "Millennium Attitude" in 2000 and "Reloaded" in 2001. "Yeah its crazy how quinn wrote my first verse not knowing that years later he would comeback and put me in the game" says Rich. In May of 1998 Charles and Quinn started a record label that eventually took the Bay Area by storm and Fully Loaded was the catalyst. Instanly, Quinn and Charles took interest in the group and began to develop the three hungry rappers. Shortly there after they decided to form a group (Fully Loaded) and called on San Quinn and his manager Charles Kelley for guidance. By the time Rich was 16 he began producing and recording his own solo demo tape.Īt around the same time he began doing music with childhood friends Bailey (San Quinn's little brother) and an aspiring rapper named Toriano. Rich polished his skills as a producer and started writing rhymes for actually the first time in his life. Devo, who was Rich's number 1 rapper in the crew went on to become the founding member of the successful Bay area rap group Tha Gamblaz. From 1993 to 1998 every aspiring young rapper to established local rappers came to Big Rich's 3rd floor apartment in the Banneker Homes. He also had the aspirations of owning his record company so he decided to start BRP (Big Rich Productions). "Man, we started out recording on a karaoke machine my mom bought me for christmas, says Rich." At this time, Rich became more interested in producing than being a MC. He began rapping with his boys from the same housing projects and they crafted their skills in Rich's bedroom/mini recording studio. But at age 12 music re-entered Rich's life and never left again. Shortly after recording the song with his cousins Rich lost interest in music and gained interest in sports. He wrote Rich's first rhyme and they recorded the song "king of the stage." This "young mc" went on to become the Bay Area rap legend San Quinn. Still determined to rap, Rich got help from a "young mc" who lived around the corner from his uncle's house. Rich who was the youngest out of the crew wasnt able to keep up lyrically. He found hip hop at age 9 when him and his cousins Noot Rich and Mark D started rapping in their uncle's garage. I dont even cry or feel sad anymore, my feelings are numb" says Rich. Rich has lost over 50 friends and family members to the streets.
