The charisma of Ottawa-Fredericton rapper Brockway Biggs (formerly Pimp Tea) won over diverse crowds from the late 90s until he suffered a concussion in 2011.
His entertaining stage presence is cultivated from the vintage vibe of story telling, crowd participation, props and freestyle dance moves.
He won an ECMA in 2005. Toured Canada in 2008. Multiple ECMA, CUMA & OIMA nominations. Played shows with Classified, Shad, Ghettosocks, Quake Matthews, Skratch Bastid, Manafest, The Motorleague & hundreds more.
Wrote for HipHopCanada. Charted on 40+ radio stations. Features on most major Canadian TV networks.
Exciting news! New music coming Wed, Apr 21st. "Gift & Deed" can be pre-saved on Spotify here.
"Gift & Deed" shares the story of a good friend who spent 7 years on dialysis due to kidney failure.
April 18-24 is National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week (NOTDAW). And April is organ donation awareness month.

- 'Remarkable' single
Brockway Biggs (formerly Pimp Tea) returns with his first single in nearly a decade.
Derailed by a life-altering concussion in 2011, the Ottawa/Fredericton rapper is excited to bring you 'Remarkable' featuring AC (Andy Cotter) and The Sound & The Fury.
The track freshens up his 2004 song 'Maniac For Your Love' and was unveiled as a surprise at his wedding reception.
This first post-concussion performance thrilled his wedding guests and their impromptu footage led to the making of a live video version of 'Remarkable'.
You can check it out on YouTube.
Hey everyone. You probably haven't heard from me in quite awhile.
I suffered a few smaller concussions from mid 2010 to mid 2011, which I naively ignored.
Then in August 2011, I suffered a big one. It's more than 7 months later, and my life is still paused as I very slowly recover.
I haven't been able to tolerate listening to music since the "big one", so unfortunately, I wasn't able to put out a Canadian
rap compilation last year (first time since 2002). I also haven't been able to pursue my own music since mid 2010.
If you get hit in the head, pause & rest... cause if you've got a bad head injury, your injured brain might not be able to detect it.
I will recover, it's just a very slow process.

- Day 50: The halfway update
It's day 50 of my 100-day tour across Canada and I'm pretty exhausted.
Only two days have been above 20 degrees (both in Prince George).
It snowed twice.
I've already driven 13,000 kms.
I had my side view mirror licked by an elk.
Two grizzly bears walked in front & back of my ride.
I wouldn't trade the trip for anything.

- My old Music Videos on YouTube & some thoughts...
When I started out in 1999 my focus was on having fun, which I accomplished while garnering considerable accolades as Pimp Tea (formerly PIMP-T). However, the maturity gained from seven years of writing, performing and simply living life, has led to my desire to move away from the "pimp" persona.
So, I'd like to introduce, Brockway Biggs and welcome you to this site, as I take yet another step along my artistic path.
