About

Twista

For over a decade, beloved rapper, Twista, has been captivating millions with his natural talent, kinetic flow, crisp rhymes, and magnetic charisma. Always relevant, the Chicago-native remains at the top of the game, despite an ever-evolving industry and a new wave of artists emerging daily. With the recent success of his sixth studio album, Category F5, the hip-hop veteran offers more classic Twista swagger with his forthcoming release The Perfect Storm (GMG-EMI).
Twista’s meteoric rise to fame began in 1991 when a local radio DJ, with a reputation for discovering Chicago artists, saw Twista perform at a talent show held at the Gold Dome on Chicago’s West Side. Amazed, the DJ jumped at the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become Twista’s manager. A Chicago promoter from Loud Records was awestruck at the effortlessly sly, yet vigorous, unmatched lyrical expertise displayed throughout a demo he received and instinctively took the tape to artist reps in Los Angeles. Stunned by Twista’s remarkably fresh, precise and dynamic style, the executives immediately flew Twista to L.A asking him to demonstrate his unique lyrical prowess, and were unanimously won over by his distinctive and undeniable talent. Twista subsequently made his mark on the landscape of hip-hop music, entering with formidable ferocity when he not only became the first artist signed to Loud Records, but also the first rapper out of the Windy City to ink a major record deal. One year later, in 1992, Twista was dubbed the world’s fastest rapper in the Guinness Book of World Records, unrivaled in his inherent ability to pronounce 11.2 syllables per second.
