Lil Soldiers was a rap group signed to No Limit Records from Asbury Park, NJ whose members were siblings Ikeim (YungFreedomU) and Freequan. The duo first appeared on fellow No Limit recording artists, Steady Mobb'n's 1998 Black Mafia album on the track entitled "Lil' Niggas" around the same time the siblings dropped *Close 2 You * A ode to their Mother's on Mean Green's certified gold album *Major Players* The following year Ikeim and Freequan, who were 7 and 6 years old respectively, released their only album on No Limit entitled Boot Camp. Shortly after the album was released, Lil' Soldiers finalized their commitment with the label.
