I'm pretty sure I have something but it would take some searching..

You can also look him up under the name "Shadowcast"

Ironic that our manager went through all that trouble to beat Puff for the name,
only to end up changing it anyways.. LoL..

Biggy Smallz - Nobody Rides For Free  , reminds me of "If there is a cure for this". Similar instrumental, even Pac and Snoop are doing similar flow.

Has this guy put out many songs? I like the songs posted, but it would be jolly if I could burn a full cd with his music :)

Title: Re: Illustration of the Original Biggy Smallz
Post by: Shade Sheist™ on June 22, 2011, 06:54:53 AM

Yes.. it WAS indeed Natasha Walker on the Hook!  8)

and He had a full-length under Biggie Smallz but it's quite rare.
Some Shadowcast music also released to the masses.. He had a few singles out (Single Deals used to be popular.. LoL)
i'm certain I have a cassette buried in a box of tapes in my archives.

anything else about him..?
-He could write songs very well..
-Johnny J loved working with him because they always made dope shxt together..
-All three of us collaborated on several records for myself, none released commercially..
-Biggie eventually focused on college and I started working more with JJ.. then Pac got out of Jail  8)
-Him and LAD ("Ridin Low") both made me step it up musically at a time I was still figuring out my own sound.
-He was also one of the 1st to do such a HUGE show in Tokyo back in the 90s.

This was totally our style at the time.. LOL Bone Thugs had us turned-out!
