History
After the breakup of Company Flow in late 1990s, Bigg Jus formed the now defunct Sub Verse Music and began to pursue his solo career. He moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where he continued his musical career with his self-produced EP Plantation Rhymes. Moving on to the creation of his first solo album, he put together an album known as Black Mamba Serums. However, in the wake of the September 11 incidents in 2001, he pulled the album just before its release unsatisfied with its content. He went back to the studio and recreated the album more to his liking. He released this version as Black Mamba Serums v2.0 on Big Dada in 2004. Just to prove a point to his listeners, he included the original album mp3s as bonus content.
In 2005, Bigg Jus combined with long-time friend DJ Gman to produce Poor People's Day, which was released on Mush Records.
In a 2006 interview, Bigg Jus said that he and El-P were working on a new Company Flow album to be released later in the year.
Bigg Jus released the solo album, Machines That Make Civilization Fun, on Mush Records in 2012.

“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“The history of literature—take the net result of Tiraboshi, Warton, or Schlegel,—is a sum of a very few ideas, and of very few original tales,—all the rest being variation of these.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
