Early Life

B.G. was born Christopher Noel Dorsey on September 3, 1980, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Growing up in the Freret neighborhood, he was exposed to the harsh realities of street life from a young age. Dorsey's father was largely absent and then was killed during an attempted robbery when Christopher was 12. Despite the challenges he faced, Dorsey found solace in music. He began rapping at the age of 12, initially performing under the moniker "Lil Doogie." It was during this time that he metLil Wayne, who was then going by "Baby D" and would later become a frequent collaborator and close friend.

The Hot Boys

In 1993, Chris met Bryan "Baby" Williams at a barbershop. Williams, who today is better known asBirdman, had recently co-founded the rap label Cash Money Records with his brotherRonald "Slim" Williams. Now, going by "Baby Gangsta" and soon simply "B.G.," Chris and Lil Wayne were both signed to Cash Money Records. They initially performed as a rap duo called the The B.G.'z.

In 1996, B.G. released his first solo studio album, "Chopper City." In 1997, he released "It's All on U, Vol. 1" and "Vol. 2."

That same year, he formed the rap group the Hot Boys, along with Lil Wayne and fellow new label-mates Juvenile and Young Turk. The Hot Boys released their debut studio album, "Get It How U Live!," in October 1997. This album went on to sell 400,000 copies. In 1999, the group released "Guerrilla Warfare." Produced by Cash Money'sMannie Fresh, the album went platinum and reached #5 on the US Hot 100 charts and #1 on the US R&B chart, thanks largely to the singles "I Need A Hot Girl" and "We On Fire."
