about
There are two rappers who use the name, they are listed in order of prominence. 1) Hiram Clarke (better known as Big Steve) is a Houston born rapper. A founding member of the Screwed Up Click, Big Steve was known amongst the click as DJ Screw’s right-hand man. He was also an original member of the group Woss Ness; comprised of four members: Big Steve, Rasir X, Mista Luv and Devious. In 1997, the group released their debut album, “Da Game Done Changed.” It became a hit in the “Screwston” scene, and gave Big Steve the validity he needed to become a staple in the underground Houston rap scene for decades to come. With the success of DJ Screw’s mixtapes, and the debut album from Woss Ness, Big Steve launched his solo career in 1999, with the album “My Testimony.” The record was a true showcase of Big Steve’s talents as an artist and the record made waves in the “Screwston” scene. Fans loved the focused and rhythmically driven lyrics Big Steve had perfected, along with his trademark gangster attitude. The huge selection of featured artists also contributed to the albums success; everyone from Fat Pat, Big Mello and Celia Ward, to the Woss Ness click, guest starred on several tracks, making the record a ‘must-have’ for loyal and dedicated “Screwston” fans. Riding on the wave of his first solo album, Big Steve decided to release “Back to Back Hits,” a screwed and chopped version of his original album, in November of 2000, on Woss Ness Records.
