Twista’s Way On Top

Born Carl Terrell Mitchell doesn’t come from a respectable and rich family. He was brought up by a single mother and very often Carl and his brothers and sisters stayed without any extra dollar in the pocket. He grew up in a criminal part of Chicago, and could simply become a drug addict or murderer. But he had no time for bad habits as he was completely involved into music making.

Carl was introduced to music at the age of 12, but later he fell in love with rap. For the ability to speak unbelievably fast, he was nicknamed as Tung Twista. He used that moniker later for his first stage performances.

Twista was occasionally discovered by a DJ in one of Chicago clubs. That DJ became Twista’s manager.

Although the first album of the rapper, released in 1992 and titled “Runnin’ Off at da Mouth”, didn’t become too successful, he continued to work.

The next Twista’s disk “Adrenaline Ruch” brought him international popularity. His other successful disks are “Kamikaze” and “The Day After”.
