Born on 27 November 1973 in Chicago, Illinois, Twista began rapping at the early age of twelve, and in 1992 he released his first album entitled “Runnin’ Off At Da Mouth” under the name Tung Twista.The next album, “Resurrection” was set to be released in 1994, however, due to marketing issues with his label, Atlantic Records, the album was only released in Chicago. Despite the lack of national attention for “Resurrection,” Twista dropped the “Tung” from his stage name and teamed up with producer The Legendary Traxster and Cwal for “Adrenaline Rush.” The album became his first charting album, peaking at Number 77 on the Billboard Hot 200.
In 1998 Twista teamed up with fellow Chicago rappers to form Speedknot Mobstaz; and together, they released “Mobstability.” That same year Twista formed a new label called Legit Ballin’ and released two compilation albums in 1999 and 2001. In the beginning of 2002, he started to work on his next album entitled “Kamikaze” which was later released in 2004. The album debuted at Number One on the American Billboard 200 album chart. One year later followed with “The Day After” and “Adrenaline 2007.” Unfortunately the letter didn’t do as well compared to his previous albums.
Twista released “The Perfect Storm,” his eighth studio album, in 2010. The album featured guest artists such as Waka Flaka Flame, Raekwon, Diddy and Ray J. Twista started to work on his next studio album in 2013 and in 2014 he released the first single of the album “Dark Horse.”

“Damn, baby, I can’t do it that fast, but I know somebody who can - Twista!” On ‘Slow Jamz’, back when he was simply a cocky young college dropout and not the world’s most comically egotistical man, Kanye West immortalised Carl Mitchell - better known as Twista or Tung Twista - ahead of his genuinely incendiary verse. His stage name is derived from his breathtakingly quick flow, which he delivers at borderline-supersonic speed; back in 1992, he entered the Guinness Book of Records for being able to pronounce an utterly mind-blowing five hundred and ninety-eight syllables in just fifty-five seconds. Me neither. So unusual - almost supernatural - is Twista’s ability in that respect that he probably could have chosen to tour with a freak show instead of doing so as a musician; there’s no question that it’s quite the spectacle to witness in the flesh. Twista hasn’t toured the UK since early 2005, around the time he was riding high on the back of the success of his Kamikaze record, which went to number one in the U.S., but with a new album, Dark Horse, slated to drop in August - his first in four years - he might well make a long-overdue return sooner than later.

Twista is an American hip hop artist, rapper and producer who hails from Chicago in Illinois. Twista is the king of the quick beat, super sonic rap delivery and tongue twisting lyrical performance. He drops words quicker than the speed of light. It really is something watching him perform live: I simply don’t understand how he doesn’t run out of breath, or forget what the hell he;s rapping so fast about. Nonetheless, many of Twista’s tunes are actually wonderfully mellow, soulful and easy to listen to. He always collaborates with the best, his backing singers are always spot on and his stage presence is electrifying. He’s a big guy and he knows how to make his presence known. Twista owns the stage, pumping up the audience and getting us to sing along to some of the slower lyrics. From ‘Overnight Celebrity’ to ‘Hope’, Twista entertained the crowd with tune after tune, dropping catchy beats and romantic melodies. He ended the night with his biggest hit, ‘Slow Jamz’, which he collaborated on with superstars Jamie Foxx and Kanye West.
