About Sir-Mix-A-Lot
In 1992, Sir Mix-A-Lot became a pop culture phenomenon with his gonzo tribute to “thick soul sisters” dubbed “Baby Got Back”. But even before he struck crossover gold, Sir Mix-A-Lot was one of rap’s great DIY success stories. Hailing from Seattle, a city with barely any hip-hop scene to speak of at the time, Mix-A-Lot founded his own record label and produced his own music, gaining a strong following in the rap community for his bouncy, danceable, and bass-heavy tracks, indebted to old-school electro. But it took signing with Rick Rubin’s Def American label to ultimately carry him into the mainstream. Perceived as a one-hit novelty, Mix-A-Lot initially found it difficult to follow his breakout success, but kept on recording, and even toured as part of a rap-rock supergroup called Subset, a collab with the Presidents of the United States of America. Today, Mix-A-Lot is regarded as a classic MC whose legendary hit was recently reworked by Nicki Minaj into chart-topping single “Anaconda”.
