Tigger
Darian "Big Tigger" Morgan is a defining voice in hip-hop culture and broadcast media — best known as the legendary host of BET's Rap City: Tha Basement and 106 & Park. An Emmy Award-winning talent, Tigger's journey began right here at University of Maryland, College Park, interning at WPGC 95.5 FM before dominating the airwaves as the region's highest-rated nighttime host.
Over two decades, Tigger has interviewed and worked alongside the biggest names in music, sports, and entertainment — from Jay-Z and Nas to LeBron James. His influence extends beyond the microphone: he's a cultural connector who has shaped how a generation experiences hip-hop.
Today he hosts The Big Tigger Morning Show on V-103 in Atlanta — the city's #1 urban radio station — and serves as the official resident DJ for the Atlanta Hawks and Falcons, energizing sold-out crowds at State Farm Arena and Mercedes-Benz Stadium. A proud Terp who never forgot where it started, his return to College Park for Black Alumni Weekend is a true homecoming celebration.
