Rappin’ 4-Tay made his debut on Too Short’s 1988 album, Life Is…Too Short, and the Fillmore, San Francisco rapper would never look back.
After a short prison stint, 4-Tay started off his solo career with Rappin’ 4-Tay Is Back in 1991. Three years later, the follow-up album Don’t Fight the Feelin came, which included the hits “Playaz Club” (which hit #36 on the Billboard Hot 100) and “I’ll Be Around” (which hit #39 on the Billboard Hot 100). His third studio album, 1996’s Off Parole, peaked at #10 on the Billboard charts, and also featured the radio smash, “Ain’t No Playa (Playa Sh**)”. It’s safe to say, he’s had a prolific mainstream career, and has collaborated with some of rap’s biggest stars — including Snoop Dogg, MC Breed, 8 Ball, and even Tupac on “Only God Can Judge Me” from the diamond-selling All Eyez On Me.
