Big Noyd's debut was his verse on "Stomp 'Em Out" from
Mobb Deep's 1993 debut
Juvenile Hell, but it was not until 1995, on
Mobb Deep's album
The Infamous, that Big Noyd attracted wider attention. He appeared on "Right Back At You", “Party Over”, & "
Give Up the Goods (Just Step)". He explained later that he received his first contract, for $300,000, from
Tommy Boy because of his verse on "Give Up The Goods (Just Step)". His debut album
Episodes Of A Hustla was released in 1996 on Tommy Boy Records. Noyd was incarcerated at the time of its release. According to
Prodigy, the album sold a "disappointing 30,000 copies". In 2000, Big Noyd signed to Prodigy's record label,
Infamous Records, and appeared on the songs
Infamous Minded and
Gun Play from Prodigy's debut studio album,
H.N.I.C., which was certified Gold by the RIAA. In 2003, Big Noyd returned with his second album,
Only The Strong. This album, just as his debut, had many
Mobb Deep-related features. Noyd attributes the lackluster sales to Landspeed Records' (which became Traffic Entertainment Group) filing for bankruptcy in an unrelated lawsuit just as the album was being released. In 2004, Big Noyd released his third album,
On the Grind, also featuring many guest-spots by
Mobb Deep-related artists. The album was released independently through Monopolee Records, which Noyd helped to found and released under his full control, preventing issues that happened with Landspeed and Tommy Boy Records. He founded Noyd Inc. in 2007. He got his rap name from a friend who thought he resembled Domino's Pizzas advertising character '
The Noid'. ==Personal life==
