Twista

Chicago rapper Twista is known for his tongue-twisting, chopper-style of rapping and was the one-time holder of the Guinness World Record for fastest rapping in 1992. With a steady rise from the underground in the late '90s, he made his breakthrough in the early 2000s atop the success of his number one single, 'Slow Jamz'. He remained in the Top 40 into the 2010s while also stacking diverse collaborations with the likes of Lil Jon, DJ Khaled, Mariah Carey, Travis Barker, Lady Gaga, and many more.

Twista made his recording debut on 'Po Pimp,' a platinum single by his fellow Windy City rappers Do or Die. Following 'Po Pimp,' Twista signed with Big Beat/Atlantic and released his debut, Adrenaline Rush, in 1997. In 2002, he hooked up with Ludacris, Jay-Z, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and others for the recording of his third album. Kamikaze came out at the beginning of 2004 and promptly hit the Billboard 200, riding the impetus of his number one hit single 'Slow Jamz.' He issued Crook County in 2017, which featured appearances by Blac Youngsta, Jeremih, and production by Zaytoven. Twista returned two years later with the singles 'Tonite' and 'Blessed.'
