In 2004 he created the Bandalero Sound System alongside DJ Atili, occasionally featuring the Ondubground collective. He later collaborated with the Austrian DJ Governor General Rugged to create the Mus Bus Collective. In 2008 the Jamaican singjay Joseph Cotton renamed Biga by adding ‘Ranx’ to his name.
In 2011 Biga signed to the French label X-Ray Production and began creating "On Time", which was released in October of that year. It was then elected the best Ragga/Dancehall album in France by the website Reggae.fr. In 2012 The World of Biga*Ranx, a project consisting of four 12-inch records was released, each a collaboration with a different producer: Maffi, Ondubground, Kanka and Mungo’s Hi Fi. Biga released a remix of "On Time" in November 2012, with all the songs from his debut album remixed by artists such as Chinese Man, Aphrodite, A State of Mind and Tom Fire. Biga often works with Joseph Cotton, who did a guest appearance at his concert at La Cigale in May 2013 and appears on his album "On Time".
In 2012 Biga went to Jamaica to film a documentary with France Ô, called Biga*Ranx en Jamaïque, which was broadcast in April 2013. The film followed his trip to Jamaica, where he met some of his Reggae idols such as Potential Kidd. Biga has performed at many European music festivals, including the Garance Reggae Festival, Reggae Sun Ska Festival and Solidays, and Europe's largest reggae festival SummerJam Biga went on national tours after the releases of both On Time and Good Morning Midnight, performing dates all over France with his live line-up, including at La Cigale in Paris.
Paris is a Bitch
Biga Ranx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Smoking up my blunt
Every other day I show
I got no time for myself
Five o'clock inna the morning
I just roll another one
I've got my girlfriend on the bed
And we just wanna have fun
Heading to the bakery
I want to get some nice
Croissants and coffee
You wanna to take me to the show
But shit
I don't wanna wake up
My dream is my life
So I know I gotta go
Paris is a bitch
Everyone in bed
I be smoking and drinking
Flying in my head
I don't wanna wake up
But I know I gotta go
I don't wanna wake up
My dream full of smoke
I be party on a monday
Smoking up my blunt
Every other days I show
I've got no time for myself
Party on a monday
Would you be my friend?
Let's have another drink
Tonight it's me who pay
Paris is a bitch
Je la connais à peine
Viens avec moi
Où veux tu que j't'emmène?
Célèbre tous les lundis soirs
Some say I'm a star
I don't even have a car
Just some weed in my cigar
Où veux tu que j't'emmène?
Célèbre tous les lundis soirs
Some say I'm a star

Paris is a bitch
Acknowledging the difficulties of living in Paris
Everyone in bed
Others are sleeping
I be smoking and drinking
Indulging in vices such as smoking and drinking
Flying in my head
Being influenced by substances affecting the mind
My dream full of smoke
Living a life clouded by drugs
Would you be my friend?
Asking for companionship
Let's have another drink
Requesting to share another alcoholic beverage
Tonight it's me who pay
Offering to pay for drinks

Même en 2024 ça reste l’un de mes son préféré ❤️ Biga*Lauiiaaaa🔥🫠
@leguidedes7sens768
C’est un bœuf en concert sérieusement, au tant sur le son que sur l’ambiance. Je reste choquée par son talent de dingue, ça saute aux yeux sur scène. En plus ça se sent que tu te régales en même temps que nous . T’es magique sérieux !!
@monsieurdoublev9124
Ce mec évolue positivement, il s'enferme pas dans un certain type de musique et c'est ça qu'est bon ! Et ça reste le feu en concert, il se donne autant devant 100 personnes que 2000 ! Peace Biga*
@kenansenkal241
Ce mec en concert c'est une pure dinguerie, on est bien d'accord 😄
@moussochocolah
On est graaaaaave d'accord! Grosse ambiance, et le flow au rendez-vous.
@stefanovalentini2780
Lucas Weidemann En concert c'est carrément mieux
@serdtse9815
Lucas Weidemann absolument d'accord avec toi, son passage au festival de Vaux Sur Mer en Charente Maritime en juillet dernier était une tuerie
