| It's
the imperial serial killer, alias, Mussolini, mentally unstabled, your status,
so you can't see me, drug warlord, riding concord jets, rag vests, shaking
bitches and snitches and trippin on sets, Inglewood, Watts banging, keeping one
in the chamber for the anger that I built inside, when it's time to ride,
suicidal thoughts lurking until no end, revenge, fuck any, my alias is
Mussolini. | | Tyruss
"Big Syke" Himes was born and raised in Inglewood, California. In the
early 90s he became friends with Tupac. Syke was teached Tupac about the streets
and Tupac teached Syke about the rap game. Syke, Macadoshis, Mopreme Shakur, The
Rated R and Tupac started working on an LP, Thug Life Volume 1. One of
the songs that'd be on it was "How Long Will They Mourn Me?" which
featured Nate Dogg and was dedicated to Syke's murdered friend Kato. Tupac told
Syke to take his pain out on the song and it turned out good.
On
September 26, 1994, Thug Life Volume 1 was released. It sold gold, which
was good, but not as good as they expected. A lot of people blamed Interscope
Records who edited and removed a lot of songs from the Lp due to them being too
hardcore and underground. The first single and video was "Pour Out A Little
Liquor." It was A Tupac solo song and didn't feature Syke nor any other
members of Thug Life. Syke was on the three other singles and videos,
"Cradle To The Grave," "How Long Will They Mourn?" and
"It Don't Stop," though.
In 1995, Bruce "Fatal"
Washington, Katari "Kastro" Cox, Malcolm "E.D.I." Greenidge,
Mutah "Napoleon" Beale, Tupac and Yafeu "Kadafi" Fula
founded a group, the Outlaw Immortalz which was later re-named to the Outlawz.
Syke was recruited to the group. Tupac had given the members of the group
aliases taken from political men hated in America, Tupac gave Syke the alias
Mussolini, after former Italian president Benito Mussolini. The Outlawz made
their debut on "When We Ride" on Tupac's double LP, All Eyez On Me,
which was released on February 16, 1996. Shortly after the release Syke left the
Outlawz.
He signed with Rideonum Records/TNT Recordings as a solo artist
which released his solo LP, Be Yo Self, on October 16. Since then Syke
has been very quiet. He has mostly guest appeared on other artist's albums and
compilations and soundtracks. In 2000, he signed with Rap-A-Lot Records where he
recorded an album, Big Syke Daddy, Where You At? In 2001, he left
Rap-A-Lot Records and the album was never released. He signed with D3
Entertainment/DNA which is set to release his third album this year! |
