B.G., the Baby Gangsta, must have been one of the most prolific teenagers in music history. Signed to the New Orleans-based independent Cash Money Records at 11 years old, B.G. released six solo albums before his 18th birthday. His debut album, True Story (1993), was a semi-autobiographical account of his coming of age on the poverty ridden streets of uptown New Orleans. In the next five years, B.G. released an album per year, including one as a member of the Hot Boys. B.G.'s sales and popularity climbed with each release: It's All on You, Vol. I and II (1996 and 1997) sold over 250,000 copies each and the Hot Boys release sold over 400,000 (1997). In 1998, Cash Money signed a national distribution deal with Universal Records. One year later, B.G.'s first nationally distributed album, Chopper City in the Ghetto, debuted at number nine on Billboard's Top 200. Mtume Salaam, All Music Guide
