Taoufiq Hazeb (born 8 October 1983) better known by his stage name Don Bigg, Bigg da Don or simply Bigg, is a Moroccan rapper and producer from Casablanca.

Bigg is widely regarded as one of Morocco’s most influential rappers, renowned for his sharp lyricism, impeccable flow, and socially conscious themes. His music resonates deeply with urban Moroccan youth, addressing pressing issues such as corruption, social inequality, and everyday struggles with unflinching honesty.

Biography

Fluent in English, Don Bigg began singing in English before Masta Flow, a rapper very close to him, advised him to sing in Darija to be understood by all Moroccans . In 2006 his first album Mgharba Tal mout was released .

At the end of 2015, he collaborated with nine other artists — DJ VAN, Asmaa Lamnawar, Ahmed Soultan, Ahmed Chawki, Douzi, Nabyla Maan, Khansa Batma, Hamid El Kasri and Rachida Talal, Dizzy DROS — in Kafana Soukout, a piece for road safety subsidized by Renault Maroc .

At the end of 2018, a clash pitted him against "new generation" rappers, notably when he released his title 170 kg  and others.

In 2025, Bigg, alongside fellow rap star Shobee, took on the role of head judge for JamShow, a nationally televised rap competition aimed at showcasing Morocco's rising hip-hop talent.[citation needed]
