DJ BigTime is a Jersey City mixtape DJ active from the 1990s through at least 2006, known in the scene for street-focused mixtape music -- a lane he describes on camera in the 2006 documentary, showing his home studio, crates, and full setup.
In the Record§
He originally performed as DJ Quality before taking the name Big Time, a rebranding that marked his transition into a more prominent role in Jersey City's mixtape distribution network.
Mark Cee credited DJ BigTime with getting Mark Cee's final mixtape (around 2000 to 2001) distributed, reflecting the informal but real influence he had over how music moved through the city.
He served as a mentor figure to DJ Dolo, who says he came up looking up to Big Time -- the kind of generational mentorship that defines how DJ skill has always moved through Jersey City.
