The group Big Brovaz originally comprised of three girls, Cherise, Dion, Nadia and three boys, J-Rock, Flawless and Randy, plus two producers Skillz a.k.a JJC, who also manages his group 419 squad, and Fingaz. The group have been compared to the likes of The Fugees and OutKast.
The group were brought together by Fingaz, one of the collective's producers, who already worked under the title "Big Brovaz". The "Big Brovaz" team asked the individual members to showcase their talent alongside underground London R&B and hop hop artists on a compilation that was being put together, entitled "Big Brovaz - Watching You". On the album, rather than giving each member an individual track, the producers decided to make the artists work together and perform on the same track. The chemistry between all of the members developed and so, the Big Brovaz compilation album in fact became the group.
The "Big Brovaz - Watching You" compilation was a heavily successful underground release and sold over two thousand copies on the underground alone. The live shows to promote the release built up the reputation of the producers and artists on the record.
A track from the album which featured West London R&B singer Cherise was picked up by the organiser of the annual MOBO award organisers and she was asked to compete in the annual Mobo Unsigned talent competition, walking away with first prize. Cherise was signed and later release her own solo album. Following this, the group were picked up by Sony records and the rest is history.

Big Brovaz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"For Goodness J-Rock Who Is It?"
This is big bro (bro)
Takin' over the show (show)
With this nu flow (flow)
You need to listen up and feel this shhh
'Cause we won't quit (quit)
This 'cause I came through the door,
As soon I step in the door,
I see that you hatin' my flow,
The cooler flow the soother flow,
We tired of being this poor and
Havin' to sleep on the floor,
And workin' from nine to five,
It's like a five-dollar home,
Knowin' we worth more,
We simply had to settle the score,
that's why you see these albums and these singles in the store,
It's Big Bruva baby,
Tryin' to cash some major big be's,
You messing with my cheese,
and I'll switch dis right so what nigga
It's Dion,
I bet you won't forget my name,
I've probably maybe,
Prone to get inside ya brain,
My family does the same,
It's BB's time to reign,
We doin' them platinum chains,
And all you'z are made for me
You're new
You lose
You wear my shoes
Cherise,
Brand new,
Me and my crew,
Don't try our flow,
If ya tongue don't grow,
You'll lose control,
You'll just wait and come
Hey yo, this is J-rock,
And I got more skill than average,
Put us together man,
We're more than all of y'all can manage,
'Cause we be the baddest addict,
Just here to get some practice,
And now it's only more money and it's more madness,
Stock up on a daily basis,
We travel so many places,
Switchin' so many tricks,
And mixin' up those lyrical faces,
'Cause they see the ice and they trip,
They like to ride in your whip,
But all I want to know is if these girls are riding it, oh!
Who's, who's, who's this?
This is the N A D I A,
You didn't think I was coming at ya,
Givin' you people a different time,
A big brotha maker,
I bet y'all didn't think I was,
Writing these beats and makin' on paper,
Then I guess I'm a paper chaser,
Sorry y'all it's in my nature,
Who's this
Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh
Who's, who's this?
