B.G.

Christopher Dorsey, better known as B.G. (born September 3, 1980 in New Orleans,Louisiana) is an American rapper. "B.G." is short for "Baby Gangsta".


Cash Money Controversy

B.G. remained with Cash Money for the rest of the 1990s, and was a member of the Hot Boys with Juvenile, Lil' Wayne, and Turk. He left the label in early 2001 after disputes with Brian "Baby" Williams over personal issues (B.G. recently claimed that Williams used his heroin addiction to control him and cheat him out of royalties, for which he is now suing), and later signed an independent deal for his Chopper City Records label with Koch Records. In 2001, he attended a drug treatment program in Minnesota for his heroin addiction. In 2003, Baby took old recordings of the Hot Boys and released Let 'Em Burn. B.G. went on to release his first offering on the Koch label entitled Living Legend, which was sold as a 2-disc set.on The Livin Legend Album.B.G. Disses Baby On Tracks Like: Fuck U (Intro), I Keep It Gangsta, R.I.P., Reality Check, However U Want It & Get Ugly. In 2004, he released Life After Cash Money. In 2005, he released The Heart Of Tha Streetz, Vol. 1. He also helped record "Y'all Heard of Me" with C-Murder.

Life After Cash Money

B.G. currently lives in Detroit, Michigan. He's a veteran in the hip-hop industry at only the age of 26 and he says he's not going to stop rapping anytime soon. He recently released his latest LP, The Heart Of Tha Streetz, Vol. 2, and his new single "Move Around" featuring Mannie Fresh. It marks the first time B.G. has worked with Mannie Fresh since they were labelmates at Cash Money Records years ago, and may well mean a boost to B.G.'s career commercially.

B.G. is one of four superstar members who works with G Money at the NYSE. Although they have all gone their separate ways, all four remain good friends and still keep in touch. There are rumors of a Hot Boys reunion in the future, minus Lil' Wayne. Juveniles top song, "Whats happenin'" has a Mannie Fresh remix which includes Juvenile, B.G., and Mannie. This may be the closest to a "Hot Boys" reunion.

B.G. has recently inked a deal with Atlantic Records and T.I. has been appointed executive producer of B.G.'s new album which is scheduled for a fall release. After spending time there on and off, B.G. permanently relocated to Detroit in 2005 as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Before this deal was inked, there were rumors of B.G. signing with Young Buck's label, G-Unit South.

Young Buck recently confirmed that his collabo with B.G., a track entitled "Selling Everything", will not appear on his 2007 release Buck the World, but will appear on mixtapes. He was featured in the highly successful remix to T.I.'s Top Back, along with Young Jeezy, Young Dro, Big Kuntry King as well as T.I..

Disputes

In 2006, Trina release a mixtape diss in which she targeted B.G. along with Gillie Da Kid and southern rapping rival Khia. The mixtape was recorded in response to a statement made by B.G. where he claimed Trina had a sexual relationship with both Baby and Lil' Wayne, whom are both rappers (she was involved with Lil' Wayne at the time). In that track, she dissed him with the line "You's a Cash Money Reject, a 9th Ward Soldier/Keep fuckin with that boy, you gon' end up in a coma." B.G. responded (along with Chopper City Boy VL Mike) on the mixtape track "Cannon Bust Back" where VL Mike dissed Trina saying "Keep Geezy's name out your mouth, we don't want beef with no bitch/If that n*gga ain't satisfyin' you can suck my dick/You crossed that line hoe, you got problems with me/And if that n*gga say my name he ain't allowed to speak," however B.G. reserved his disses for Wayne, merely saying "Got a big ol' dick peekin' at your bitch..." It appears that the beef is most likely finished, as Trina and Wayne split up in October of 2006.

Atlantic Records Debut

In 2006 B.G. left Koch Records and signed with Atlantic Records. His Atlantic Records Debut album is scheduled for September 2007 as said by B.G. himself. The executive producer will be T.I. and features include Young Dro, Young Jeezy, T.I., R. Kelly, Swizz Beatz, Snoop Dogg, Chopper City Boyz, Mannie Fresh & Juvenile. The album title is confirmed to be Too Hood to be Hollywood.
