==History==
==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]], where he continued his musical career with his self-produced EP ''Plantation Rhymes''. Moving on to the creation of his LP, 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/1613|title=Black Mamba Serums v2.0|publisher=Dusted Magazine|first=Jake|last=O'Connell|date=September 2, 2004}}</ref> 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]].
