Big Fase 100 (born George Taylor III) is an American rapper from Compton, California. He is perhaps best known as the older brother of The Game.
In 2001, after his younger brother was shot during a robbery, the two brothers decided to enter the music business as a way getting out of the gang life. Around 2002, while The Game was signed to JT the Bigga Figga's Get Low Recordz, both brothers founded their own record label called The Black Wall Street Records. The name is adopted from what was the racially segregated Greenwood. During the oil boom of the 1920's, Greenwood was home to several successful and prominent African-American entrepreneurs. The label featured artists, Djs and producers such as Nu Jerzey Devil, DJ Skee, Compton Menace, A.R. (Avante Ross), Techniec and a few others. Though the company hasn't released any official retail albums, the label has released several mixtapes. In 2005, Big Fase 100 decided to leave Black Wall Street after a dispute with his brother The Game. After his departure from Black Wall Street, Taylor started his solo career as a rapper/producer and started his own label, Brazil Street Records and One Hunned Entertainment working with independent artists in the West Coast Hip Hop scene.
Taylor attended Centennial High School in Compton as a teenager. He was also a member of the Cedar Block Piru Bloods.
