艺人介绍

昵称Baby的Birdman本名Bryan Williams,出生于新奥尔良。1991年他与他的兄弟Ronald “Slim” Williams建立了南方的大厂牌Cash Money Records。他不但是个说唱歌手,他更是制作人,商人。虽然绰号Baby,但他的面相却凶神恶煞,从小混迹街头的他早期使用的艺名是 B-32 (Baby With The 32 Golds),并发行了个人专辑《I Need a Bag of Dope》。而在其将艺名改回Birdman后,其饶舌生涯发展的更为顺畅,接连发行了三张个人专辑。Birdman也计划着与Rick Ross一同发行专辑《The H》。

Birdman成立的Cash Money唱片公司是嘻哈界最著名的厂牌之一,他一手缔造了Cash Money的神话,但也是他的贪婪令这个神话最终破灭。为了从歌手身上得到更多利益,他不惜作假帐,使得Juvenile和B.G.从自己的倡销专辑中只分得了及少的利益,并且类似的事情不只发生了一次,这使得Juvenile和B.G.忍无可忍,离开了Cash Money,并将Birdman告上法庭,上诉虽因证据不足被驳回,但众主将的离开对Cash Money影响还是很大。

尽管如此,Birdman最令人称道的是他发掘了如今的嘻哈天王小韦恩(Lil Wayne),而Lil Wayne也并没有离开Cash Money。当年还是小孩子的Wayne就被Birdman慧眼识英雄,引入了唱片公司。也因为其对Wayne的栽培,两人以父子相称。2006年两人共同发行专辑《Like Father, Like Son》(有其父必有其子)获得了巨大的商业成功。在Lil Wayne成熟后已成为Cash Money Records的老板和招牌人物。

When he's doing business, Cash Money Records CEO Bryan Williams uses his real name, but when he grabs the mic to spit Dirty South raps, Williams goes by the names Birdman or Baby. Williams formed Cash Money in 1991 with his brother Ronald "Slim" Williams. Releases by B.G., the Hot Boys, Juvenile, and many others built the Cash Money empire into a Dirty South powerhouse. Williams himself displayed his vocal skills on the Hot Boys albums, but it was with Cash Money's in-house producer, Mannie Fresh, that he really made his mark. The two formed the group Big Tymers in 1997 and made of series of albums that became Dirty South favorites. He broke out on his own with Baby aka the #1 Stunna in 2002. After the album's release, he oversaw an urban footwear collection for the Lugz company, narrated the video game Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition, and appeared in the 2005 movie Beauty Shop. Three years after his solo debut, Birdman released his second solo album, Fast Money. In 2006 he teamed with his "surrogate son," Lil Wayne, for Like Father, Like Son.
