Dwanye Michael Carter, Jr., also known as Rapper Lil Wayne, was born on September 27, 1982, in New Orleans, LA. Growing up in a New Orleans neighborhood, “he became acquainted with the Cash Money Records collective, which he eventually joined as a teenager” (Lil Wayne Biography). In 1997, at the age of eighteen, Lil Wayne was the youngest member of the Cash Money Records group Hot Boys and was well on his way to preceding a solo album. Unfortunately, in 2002, all of the members of Hot Boys left the group but Wayne decided to continue on solo. Today he has joined with Rapper Birdman and is becoming more and more popular each day.
