Let’s talk about this 12" which was maybe released around ’94/'95 and has always been tagged online as 'Big Boy – Nod Your Head' ...
The only details I had got about that wax until now was the info written on the vinyl Label : Produced by Big Boy for Red Bonz Productions, mixed by the Orfinz member Git Loose and Engineered by Ken Johnston, executive producer for the Orfinz too.
But I knew there was something wrong with this vinyl the day I looked at the sticker... it didn’t fit with the artist name...'Big Boy'...
After a quick investigation, I can say that Big Boy is only the producer and not the artist… the artist is a cat from Newark, NJ named Tony Ore a.k.a Madd Man.
Madd Man or Madman... Does it sound familiar to you ? It does if you own the excellent 'The Head Rush' compilation released in 1995, you could listen to another song from Madman named 'When I’m Gone' produced by Bigee a.k.a Big Boy.
According to Stevie Guy a.k.a Big Boy, Madd Man and him were affiliated with the Orphans (G.L. a.k.a Git Loose, Mac-10, Heavy Hitta & Sheed) and they decided to do their own thing and released that 12".
