Biography

Known for the hit "Baby Got Back " (1992), Sir Mix-A-Lot (born Anthony Ray in 1963) developed his career at the turn of the 1990s, recording a handful of representative West Coast rap albums on Rick Rubin's Def Jam label. A leading exponent of party rap as a precursor to pop rap, this Seattle native followed the hip-hop movement by hosting a radio show and honing his skills on the million-selling 1988 album Swass . What followed was just as popular, with chart-topping tracks and platinum-selling albums. His chart-topper Mack Daddy (number one in 1992) won a Grammy Award. After Chief Boot Knocka (1994) and Return of the Bumpasaurus (1996), Sir Mix-A-Lot experimented with rap-rock fusion, first with Mudhoney on the soundtrack to the film Judgement Night (1993), then with The Presidents of the United States of America under the name Subset. After Daddy's Home (2003), a number of projects remained unfinished.
