An underground legend who's released more than a hundred albums since his 1992 debut, JT the Bigga Figga hails from San Francisco's Fillmore district and is a true hip-hop entrepreneur. Besides his own music, he has mentored countless younger artists, produced for many others, runs his own labels, and is active in the movie biz. Now adopting the alias Figg Panamera, he hits us with The Independent Game, which is actually the soundtrack to a documentary DVD of the same name. After more than two decades in the game, JT/Figg still sounds fresh on the mic, here sharing tracks with the likes of Rich the Kid ("Crazy Wit Da Money"), Young Thug ("Cash Talk"), Gucci Mane ("Moon Walk"), and Nikki Minaj ("The Evil Hoe"), among others. Strong Cali beats set the tone, with skittering snares and severe bass drops supporting thugged-out yet witty wordplay galore. Nevermind the occasional Auto-Tune warbling; this is another solid release from the Bay Area O.G.
