Jayceon Taylor more widely known as The Game was accused of borrowing his street cred from his older brother. With stories rife from scenes of a real California gang banger lifestyle. From the world of non fiction, anecdote after experienced account became the basis of each song laced together with his own style of name/object word play. The person that they were referring to is Big Fase 100.

A Compton native and O.G, who was living at the same time, what rappers N.W.A were rapping about.

After being instrumental in building Black Wall Street into a world wide brand name via foresight and ingenuity, he’s now focuses his efforts onto Brazil Street Records, which he comments upon during an exclusive interview with indie2industry.

While being instrumental in ushering the ‘new west’ Big Fase also divulges on his own lyrical past and future plans for himself.

You’ve been instrumental in playing the background role for a
number of the key artists that are fueling a resurgence in towards interest for west coast artists. How’d you end up being linked with all of these artists one way or another?
As you know it started with my lil bro The Game, I was instrumental in his development into an MC and contrary to what he would have you believe…
I did a whole lot more than just drop off some classic hiphop cds to him, I was his hip hop influence just as I was his street influence.
Now, Glasses …
G. Malone came along when BWS was in the building stages. He had some skills in my opinion and at the same time I wanted to dispell the rumor of the company (BWS) just being a front for piru’s /bloods
So I thought he was a nice addition, Game never embraced him so that kinda put a strain on our relationship.

How did you become a link in the chain to the success that they’re having?
Wheteher they admit or not they sat around me and got priceless game from BigFase100.
They won’t admit it if you ask, but I taught niggaz The Game.

You used to rhyme between 89-95 fill us in about your career then?
My father is a prolific poet and the stuff comes naturally for the most part. But…
I started rappin after listening to underground street tapes of Mixmaster Ken, Mixmaster Spade and Toddy Tee. But when Boyz n the Hood 12′ dropped it changed my life. The Spade,Toddy T stuff was underground and this NWA / Eazy E shit was retail.
All of a sudden I had a new way to try to get out the hood… by way of being an MC
I went by names like BlackMale,Fase Tha Nitwit, and ironically Hurricane with a partner named MC Storm in a group called TNT ( Two Niggaz Tripping).
We were members of the original Capital Punishment Organization (CPO) but nothing came from it.
In the mid 90s I went by FaseMan and I was a part of a crew called the Secret Society and we recorded a compilation album where I had two solo tracks.

Why’d you give it in?
I was about 20,21 years old and I was introduced to the real world and real life. Things got very hard around that time and rap and a possible career became unimportant and began to seem unlikely.

You ever get the bug to pick the mic back up?
Yea I got that bug right now and I’m on my way to the studio as we speak

With your background as an emcee do you school any of the others coming up with technique/flow?
I help, that’s my job.
I wouldn’t be who I am if I didn’t

What was compton like for you during the NWA/Deathrow era for you as a resident and MC?
As a resident the 80s, early 90s were crazy. A lot of people I knew didn’t make it thru those years.
Some dead some in jail for life. I’m still here, God is good.
As a MC I jus wanted to get on…

Did you meet Eazy?
I never met Eazy. I was tryna find him but I never could.
I was really tryna get on back then.

You were really an innovator in regards to making use of the internet as a promotional tool and to connect with fans with BWS’s website. What gave you the idea to embrace technology rather than traditional methods.?
I appreciate the credit man.
Once we hit the year 2000 It was time for it and it was coming anyway.
My boy turned me on to the internet and computers in general and it seemed essential to use it in the promotional campaign to establish The Game and The BlackWallstreet on a world wide scale and as you see we were very successful in branding.

Do you have future plans for the internet and Brazil Street Records?
U know I do. I’m grinding.
Takin 1 step at a time. Brazil Street Records is under reconstruction right now.

Well, let us know whats good, cuz we’re here to support
My lil sister Bfly is bout to drop her mixtape soon so that’s 1st off because its way overdue.
Real 1Hunned, come drop the checks off
And we gone deliver.

When JT Bigga Figga was dropping the Game albums, what was your/and Black Wall Steet’s reaction to it all at the time?
I think Game and JT were doin business the whole way thru.

Tell us about Brazil Street Records and the roster you got?
We are under reconstruction as I said so All I can say is BFly, Greedy, Friday KBL and this dude named Compton George.
We working harder than we ever have.
And you know hard work pays off.

That’s good to hear be sure to keep us updated and thanks for your time Fase.
Much respect, keep up the good work.
