Taoufiq Zeb (Arabic: توفيق حازب‎) (born in 1983) better known by his stage name Bigg, Bigg Chmakri and Al Khasser (The Corrupt One), is a Moroccan rapper from Casablanca. He is considered one of the pioneers of Moroccan rap, mainly for his aggressive style and for his songs' themes, which express problems existing in Moroccan society.

From early childhood, Bigg was amazed by the American music culture. He was highly interested in what was at the time East coast-West coast rap war. This influenced his choice for his stage name very much. First, he went on by the name Bigg in reference to the The Notorious B.I.G. who was at that time the star of Bad Boy Records. Even the last group he was in was called Mafia C which is a literal copy of The Notorious B.I.G.'s protegee. He eventually added another stage name, thus calling himself "Bigg Tha Don". This is a clear reference to Makaveli The Don which was the last name Tupac Shakur chose for his last album: The 7 Day Theory. Bigg began his real music career at age 14 by creating, with two friends, a rap group called "Thug Gang". At the age of 16, he went on stage for the first time, with his group, in the Sidi Belyout Theater in
