Lil Boosie Music

The Lil Boosie song called “Swerve” features Webbie and is off of the album Gangsta Musik. The track has also been called “Swerve On Em” by many fans and is regarded as a hood classic. He talks about swervin right, swervin left, and the entire concept of the track within the song. If you are from Louisiana, you know exactly how easily that this track gets you ready to hop up and dance. The instrumental was one of his best produced early tracks. At one concert, he even said something along the lines of let’s take it back to the days when I didn’t have jewelry on before performing this track.

In case you didn’t get the memo, he has been grinding hard making good music that people can dance to for a long time. The track “Swerve On Em” is a perfect example of a song that he did with Webbie before they reached superstar status. If you have all of the mixtapes that he has done, then you would know that he also has released a “Swerve 2” track that you can check out as well. As you probably already know the entire Jigga City of Baton Rouge knows how to swerve thanks to Boosie.

Word is that he loves to perform a lot of his old music at concerts to take it back. If you didn’t already know based on hearing tracks like “I Remember,” he always reflects on emotional past experiences and conveys them through his music. Many people think that it would have been cool for him to have put out a music video for the track “Swerve On Em.” However, at the time when the song had originally been released on an album in 2005, other tracks were being more heavily promoted like “Give Me That.”

Lil Boosie & Webbie – Swerve On Em Chopped N Screwed

Since being released, it has been chopped and screwed as well. If you are in to down south music that is chopped up and screwed up, then you should check out the video above. In case you are not from the south, you should know that a lot of people like to listen to their music slowed up like this due to influence from many artists like DJ Screw. Anyways, you already know what it is when it comes to Lil Boosie. Check out the track he did with Webbie and take the time to learn how to Swerve On Em.

The project by Lil Boosie called “Gangsta Musik” was released back in 2004 [May 25] through Asylum records. He worked with fellow Baton Rouge rapper Webbie on the songs and they made the album as a duo. This release is one of the primary reasons that they have had so much success and have been able to gain many new fans. They put a lot of work into this album and really impressed people that weren’t originally sure what to think about their music. The entire album is classic and features half of U.G.K. (Bun B) on a couple tracks and the Pimp on one track. This album impressed people from Baton Rouge even more so than others because it was clear that the two artists took their rap skill to an entirely new level on this project.

The Gangsta Musik album opens with the classic track entitled “Show Ya Tattoos” which actually featured both Pimp C and Bun B. It then transitioned into the track “Swerve,” a track that has become highly popular across the entire United States. People that have been following Boosie and Webbie generally regard this project as a hood classic, something that every fan needs in their collection. If you are from the south and do not have this project, you are really missing out on some great work by both artists. It was songs like “Give Me That f. Bun B” that really pushed them into the mainstream spotlight.

Considering that this “Gangsta Musik” was created just a year after their first release as a duo called “Ghetto Stories,” they really were on their grind. Both were putting out mixtapes and getting studio time with some great producers. Bun B of Trill Entertainment was working with these two in order to help them achieve success. By no means did he write their material, but he did want to make some guest appearances so that more people would recognize their skill, or as the Bad Azz would say “Undeniable Talent.”

Webbie & Lil Boosie – U Ain’t Bout What U Be Talkin Bout

Not only do all the songs from the CD bump hard in the cars, but it contains many joints like “Goin Thru Some Thangs” that is still sometimes featured at concerts by Boosie. Other tracks like “Baby Mama” and “U Ain’t Bout What U Be Talkin Bout” off the Gangsta Musik album are very hard. It is great to witness these two artists come along as people and mature in their rap careers. They currently have quite an impressive lineup of work, and this project was a huge reason that they have experienced continued success and an increasingly large fan-base.

Lil Boosie was born on November 14, 1983 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with the name Torrence Hatch. At a young age, his family decided to call him “Boosie,” which served him well as it was a very catchy nickname that everybody took a liking to; this would eventually be adopted as part of his stage name. Boosie grew up in a very challenging environment and has developed a strong personality because of his experiences. In particular, he lived on W. Garfield Street in south Baton Rouge, which is clearly a place that everyone did what they could in order to survive.

As a youth, Lil Boosie was exposed to the hardcore street life: drug dealers, violence, gangs, etc. His sets of experiences are not something that most young children were exposed to. Most people that were not familiar with his territory in South Baton Rouge were afraid to visit the area. The people that lived there had to do what it took in order to keep themselves alive as well as their families. In order to keep himself out of trouble, Torrence got very involved with sports, particularly basketball. There are claims floating around the internet from people that know Boosie who have testified to the fact that he was a phenomenal basketball player. Some even say that he was good enough to play on a college team.

As a teenager, Lil Boosie faced a lot of hardship – when he was just 14 years old, his father was killed in a drug-related murder. This is a highly stressful event for any teen to go through; fortunately, he was able to move in with his grandma and live with her. Without having a father, Lil Boosie was a youth without any positive influence. He began getting involved in drugs and violence. Additionally, he was expelled from his high school for drugs, but used his expulsion as a motivator to get involved in other pursuits – mostly music. Torrence Hatch, also called “Boosie Bad Azz” began to freestyle rap and got heavily involved in creating music as a means of self-expression.

When he first began pursuing music, he had nobody to promote his act and received minimal showcasing. Eventually, Boosie made an appearance on fellow Baton Rouge, LA rap artist C-Loc’s album on the track “It’s A Gamble.” The song also featured other artists like South Park Mexican, Concentration Camp, and Triple 6 Mafia (now known as Three 6 Mafia). Coming straight out of the 225 in Louisiana, Torrence Hatch was trying to get as much exposure as he could. He enjoyed making music so much that he was able to release a project entitled “Youngest of the Camp,” which sold over 10,000 copies in 2000. The album was perfect for getting people exposed to his hip hop presence. “Youngest in the Camp” featured other artists from his hometown of Baton Rouge like Max Minelli. Due to the fact that people knew Boosie was a real dude and went through similar struggles on the streets, people respected his work and began really liking it. In fact, there was a ton of independent promotion from fans that helped him – especially around his neighborhood.

Lil Boosie kept grinding with his music thereafter, but went through a lot of deep personal issues. After persisting many times and getting himself motivated to achieve more, Boosie was offered a position working with the Trill Entertainment record label, which happened to be cosigned by the late Pimp C of the legendary rap duo UGK (Underground Kingz). He put out an album in 2003 on Trill Ent which was called “For My Thugs.” This was released on an independent basis and managed to sell over 15,000 copies. In the same year (2003), Torrence worked with the artist Webbie (Webster Gradney, Jr.) – who also happened to be signed to TrillEnt. The two artists Lil Boosie and Webbie went on to release the album “Ghetto Stories” which also sold well over 15K.

Lil Boosie stayed focus on his music and decided that he was going to put out another album with Webbie called “Gangsta Musik” which got him a lot of attention. Stand out songs included: “Bad Bitch,” “Swerve,” as well as “Gimme That” featuring Bun B. Incidentally, the song “Swerve” went on to be featured on the soundtrack for the popular rap movie entitled “Hustle and Flow.” This album sold a lot more copies due to the sheer nationwide popularity of the songs that were included on it. A lot of hard work went into their project and rap fans across the United States and entire world began to hear of Lil Boosie.

The personnel at Universal Records began to see the potential in an artist like Lil Boosie to do big numbers. Lil Boosie ended up signing with Universal Records in January of the year 2005. In 2006, he put out the highly-popular album entitled “Boosie Bad Azz.” The people at Unversal fully promoted this project and it turned out to be one of the most widely appealing albums of his career; all of his fans and rap listeners alike fell in love with the song “Zoom” featuring Yung Joc. He kept building up his skills on the microphone and working late nights in order to record tracks. In 2007, Boosie released an exceptional song called “Wipe Me Down” featuring Foxx and Webbie.

The song “Wipe Me Down” was a huge hit and was in fact one of Lil Boosie’s most popular song to date. It climbed the hip hop charts across America and nobody could resist its overall hotness and mainstream appeal. The track would go on to be included on the project “Trill Fam: Survival of the Fittest” which was released on Trill Entertainment in 2007. The album climbed to #17 on the charts, and helped Boosie gain the widespread popularity for which he had long strived. Although he didn’t release a major album in 2008, he did put together the “Streetz Iz Mine mixtape” with DJ Drama. He did not stop creating music either – he was featured on top collaborations such as: “Out Here Grindin’” by DJ Khaled (featuring Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, Trick Daddy, Plies, and Ace Hood) on his album “We Global” as well as on the song “Independent” by Webbie on his album Savage Life 2.

On September 11, 2009, Lil Boosie released the album “SuperBad: The Return of Boosie Bad Azz” through Trill Entertainment. The premier single from the album was “Better Believe It” featuring Young Jeezy and Webbie. Other songs like “My Avenue” featuring Lil Phat and Lil Trill, and “Loose as a Goose” featuring Foxx and Mouse have gained a lot of popularity by fans. It seems as though all signs point to a bright future for the Bad Azz. Life has not been easy for Lil Boosie though, he has battled legal troubles and has had to cope with diabetes.

According to external sources, rapper Lil Boosie was arrested on October 22, 2008 in which police discovered some marijuana, a gun, in addition to an unidentified drug in his car. He ended up pleading guilty to the third-degree possession of marijuana in September of 2009 and was given a two year prison sentence. His judge, James Moore decided to increase his jail term from just 2 years to 4 years after hearing that he was in violation of his probation. Throughout time when he was involved in court cases, he was put under house arrest and surveillance was conducted with an electronic monitor. As of 2009, he is in jail, but remains optimistic about his future.
