Big Girlzz need love too says Biggie Irie
 2007 International Groovy Soca Monarch Biggie Irie wants a big girl for the Carnival. His newly launched 2008 Cropover tune
entitled, "Big Girlzz" features his
smooth but powerful vocals.
His other hits include: "Jump If Ya Jumpin" "Band On Fyah" and his
award winning "Nah Goin Home". His latest Groovy Soca track is one that pays respect to the full-figured woman.
In
"Big Girlzz" Biggie proclaims that his preferred choice in body type for his female companion is the
bigger, curvier kind.Certainly a potential radio and party
crowd-pleaser for the Cropover and Carnival seasons.
