"The music industry already knows about Twista, but I want everyone to know."
-Twista |
| Date of Birth: November 27, 1973 |
| Birthplace: Chicago, Illinois |

 |
| Twista may not be the most famous hip-hop artist out there but he's held the Guinness World Record for being the fastest rapper alive since 1992. Incidentally, he can cram in more cool lines per song than anyone in the business. |
 |
| One of the most influential artists to come out of Chicago, Twista first made waves in a guest appearance on Do Or Die's "Po Pimp." He later achieved his own fame and fortune, thanks to his albums Adrenaline Rush, Mobstability and Kamikaze, which contained the hit singles "Overnight Celebrity" and "Slow Jamz," which featured Jamie Foxx and Kanye West. |

Music is a funny business. Someone can perform for years, make a good living, and never really become famous. And then there are others who become legendary for their talent and innovating skills, but only to a few dedicated fans.
The record's first hit was "Tattoo" and it allowed Twista to take it easy for a while. For the next year, he kept a low profile, running his label and doing guest appearances for artists like P. Diddy, R. Kelly, Too Short, and Lil' Kim.
Twista returned with full force in January 2004, with the release of Kamikaze, a joint venture between Roc-A-Fella and Atlantic Records.
With this CD, he took the depth of Adrenaline Rush and went even further. The gamble paid off. With songs like "Drinks," "Overnight Celebrity" and "Slow Jamz," on which Kanye West and actor Jamie Foxx is featured, the album went platinum in March 2004.
In early September 2004, Twista made news again when the van he was riding in crashed into the median on Interstate 90, near Pennsylvania. While his bodyguard was killed on impact, Twista only suffered minor injuries. |
