CHOO BIGGZ | 3rd Strike | Prod. by 2DEEP
Choo Biggz was born Darryl Greene on 29 August, 1985. Named "Choo-B" by his God-mother at birth, Choo grew up in New York and is the grandson of Richard Truss, owner of the legendary Bronx T-Connection Night Club in the 1970s. Growing up inspired by his musical idols Michael Jackson, Jay-Z, Nas, Biggie, 2Pac, Wu-Tang Clan and DMX, he learned his first rhyme at the tender age of 5 years old, tutored by his uncle John-B.
Choo spent his youth moving from NYC to Maryland and Georgia, attending various schools in different cities and letting Southern influences shape his musical tastes. Even though a Bronx born, Choo counts artists like Pastor Troy, HitMan, Sammy Sam, Three 6 Mafia, No Limit and Cash Money amongst his influences.
Gathering much acclaim over the years as a flourishing artist, Choo has been co-signed by the likes of Mister Cee and 50 Cent who recently twittered “Check this sh*t out! Underground star choo biggz its hot!”.
Choo Biggz debut album “The Undergroudn Star” LP, highly anticipated after signing a recording contract with David Michery of ESMG in 2012.
