BIOGRAPHY

Big Bad 4-0 a/k/a 40 Glocc is no stranger to controversy. As a native of Colton, in California's Inland Empire; a neighborhood affectionately known as "the zoo", it kind of comes with the territory. You can choose either to eat,or be eaten and 40 Glocc stays well fed. Using his experience as a solo artist under Empire Records/BMG, 40 Glocc dropped "The Jackal" (Ft Bad Azz, Tray Dee, Ras Kass, Kurupt, Mac Minister & Dr Dre) in 2003. It was after this album he decided to part ways with Empire Music and joined with Mobb Deep’s Label, Infamous Records under G-Unit Records. In 2006 he began his European tour with Mobb Deep & G-Unit. Soon after released Outspoken 1(2006), Outspoken 2 (2007), Outspoken 3 (2008), That New Nigga (2008) and I am Legend (2009). During this time40 Glocc has also amassed a respectable roster of artists from around his way and launched his own label ZOOLIFE Entertainment; whose first project was "Concrete Jungle".

The album dropped nationwide on December 8th, 2009 with digital distribution through Urban Music Alliance (UMA) and hit store shelves shortly after in January 2010."Concrete Jungle" is jam packed with music that shows 40 Glocc and Zoo Life are doing their part to hold up the legacy of West Coast Gangsta Rap.
