Artist Biography
Available in:
Big Tigger is the stage name of Darian Morgan (born December 22, 1972, in the Bronx, New York), an American television and radio personality, DJ and rapper best known for hosting BET's Rap City and 106 & Park. Born to a Jamaican immigrant mother and an African-American father, he was raised in the Co-op City section of the Bronx, where he played basketball and began rapping and scratching under local DJ Rob Lasky, known as DJ All Mighty Scratch.

Morgan started his radio career as a DJ at WERQ (92Q) in Baltimore, Maryland. While attending the University of Maryland, College Park, he interned at Washington, D.C. station WPGC 95.5 FM, working alongside host Albie Dee. His freestyling built him a following on night radio, and by the time he returned to New York in 2001 he had become WPGC's highest-rated nighttime host, undefeated in the ratings for six years. He joined BET as a voiceover artist in 1996 and moved on camera the following year on Rap City's "Hip Hop News" segment, later co-hosting the show's tenth season alongside Big Lez and Joe Clair. When the format changed, he became sole host of Rap City from 1998 to 2005, before being succeeded by Mad Linx. He went on to host 106 & Park and BET Style until both shows ended in July 2006, and also fronted numerous episodes of BET: Uncut.

Morgan began rapping in 2003, appearing on R. Kelly's single "Snake" from the album Chocolate Factory and on a hidden track from Ginuwine's The Senior. He has also contributed vocal cameos to releases by Method Man, O.G.C., Redman, Too Short and Pete Rock, recorded a track for Jordan Brand's 2001 Air Jordan 17 promotional CD, and voiced the ring announcer in EA Sports' Fight Night 2004, in which his character is also playable. He later appeared alongside Busta Rhymes on "If You Don't Know Now You Know" (2009) and its 2023 sequel. Beyond BET, he served as resident DJ for the Atlanta Falcons and PA announcer for the Atlanta Hawks, and hosted the syndicated weekend show Live In Tha Den with Big Tigger until 2013.

In radio, Morgan briefly hosted a temporary morning show on New York's Power 105.1 in 2006 before returning to WPGC in 2007 as afternoon drive host; in 2010 he took over the station's morning show from Donnie Simpson, remaining until he and WPGC parted ways in December 2011. In 2013 he moved to WPGC's sister station WVEE in Atlanta for the afternoon drive slot, later taking over its morning show in 2020. In April 2010 he also began hosting the Washington, D.C.-based television program Direct Access with Big Tigger. In June 2026, Morgan was arrested in Sandy Springs, Georgia, on battery and cruelty-to-children charges after allegedly injuring his wife, Alicia Brown, during an argument at their home; he was released on a $10,000 bond.
