Big Tymers was a hip hop duo from New Orleans, Louisiana consisting of Cash Money Records co-founder Birdman and former Cash Money in-house producer Mannie Fresh. Their album "Hood Rich" topped the Billboard 200 in 2002.

"How You Luv That" reached a peak of #25 of the R&B/hip hop chart and the lower reaches of the Billboard 200. The remixed version "How You Luv That Vol. 2" almost reached the top 100 of the Billboard album chart and reached the top 20 of the Billboard r&b and hip hop chart.

Their second album "I Got That Work" released in 2000 reached the top 5 of the US album chart and topped the US R&B/hip hop chart. This album spawned two big hits in "Get Your Roll On" and "#1 Stunna" reaching the top 30 on the R&B singles charts.
