Darian "Big Tigger" Morgan (born December 22, 1972), also known as Big Tigg, is an American television and radio personality best known as the host of BET's Rap City and 106 & Park.
Morgan grew up in Co-op City and played basketball at the Wheaton high school l courts in section 4. While growing up in Co-Op city he began to rap and scratch under a local DJ Rob Lasky; aka DJ All Might Scratch. Later, he started out working as a DJ at the radio station WERQ, 92Q in Baltimore, Maryland, but his road to success began a few years earlier. While attending the University of Maryland, College Park, he interned at Washington D.C. radio station WPGC 95.5 FM. At WPGC, Morgan worked alongside popular host Albie Dee and was promptly recognized for his ambition and charisma. His college internship evolved into a flourishing career. Soon Morgan, with his innovative freestyles, gained popularity on night radio. When the Bronx native returned to New York City in 2001, he departed D.C. as the highest rated, six-year undefeated nighttime radio champion.
He entered the television scene on voiceovers for Black Entertainment Television in 1996, while still working the radio circuit. Within a year, fans were watching him on-camera, in Rap City's "Hip Hop News," and he advanced to become the co-host of Rap City in its tenth season, alongside Big Lez and Joe Clair. BET then changed the show's format, and Morgan became the lone video jockey. He hosted the show from 1999–2005, before being replaced by Mad Linx.
