(Introduction)

Ease your mind a little bit (ease your mind)
Light up that blunt (light up that motherfuckin blunt)
Lift back that sunroof (lift back your shit nigga)

(Lil Boosie)

And you can try but you ain’t Lil Boosie nigga no (no)
Bad bitches got you feelin great
Looked at my CEO like CEO let’s get this cake, baby
I hit the stage and hoes go crazy, I’m player made
All my hoes got Jordan skills, they fade away
I hit the mall and bought (shit) throwback after throwback
Everybody wanna take pictures they like “Damn you Mr. Kodak.”
Smoke comin out my sunroof a nigga shining
A nigga love gettin pussy love rocking diamonds
If you got kids in this world nigga handle your business
And you don’t need no nigga be independent
It’s murder murder niggas beefin niggas slingin nines
And I keep that purple purple to ease my mind

[CHORUS]

Smokin on purple ease my mind
This that shit that we get high to, yeah
It’s murder murder murder gotta keep you nine
This that shit that we ride to, yeah

(Lil Boosie)

I know the game I know the street
I got the raps you got the beats
And we’re gonna lay it down real sweet
So you all can ride, head bobbin side to side
I don’t want shit from my fans but this, feel a real niggas vibe
When you down and out, don’t nobody trust you
But when you got bread it seem like everybody love you
It’s still fucked up mane in certain cases – believe this nigga, look
They still racist, I can see it on them bitches faces
That’s why I’m smokin and laughin I got my grind on
And they don’t feel my struggle they think my mind gone
That’s why it’s murder murder kill kill on the corner
These little niggas got big pistols ready to put it on ya
So, when you die you might as well be high
Is it heaven or hell or is it all a lie?
That’s why I smoke purple on Monday purple on Tuesday
Two glocks cocked so they don’t bruise me

[CHORUS]

(Webbie)

Smoking on that doja I done got a bag for cheap nigga
Eyes barely open and I’m glued to the backseat
Boosie took another hit and then he passed it back to me
This shit must got something in it niggas slipped some crack with weed
Ain’t no crack up in the windows I can barely even breathe
Got me fumblin and trippin almost passed the blunt to C
Got it cloudy in the Bentley niggas squinting tryin to see
And they don’t know what time it is but I know it’s time to eat
Ridin dirty bumping ridin dirty know how that shit be
One day your hear and the next day you going on repeat
With that nine up in my reach right now dyin ain’t for me
Mane this pine got me sleepy but I’m too high to go to sleep
Bust a hootie when you rollin potent as it posed to be
You be rollin and smokin em back to back consistently
Keep movin dutches to Phillies Garcias and Swisha Sweets
Yeah Savage really don’t care just put that shit in the air

[CHORUS]

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.

Lil Boosie Mixtapes

Bad Azz Hurricane

In the summer (July) of 2009, Lil Boosie and Hurricane Chris teamed up to drop some real rap music on the masses. The name that they decided on for the mixtape was “Category 7: Bad Azz Hurricane.” The duo did not drop independent tracks, they demonstrated great chemistry by switching off verses on nearly every song. The beats are all original and they sound phenomenal in a good stereo system. Most people agree that songs like “Deebo” and “Gangsta Sh*t” are some of the hardest songs of the year – easily some of the best on the mixtape scene. Lil Boosie raps: “In Louisiana I’m like Hannah Montana, I’m famous, you know when to call me – when it get gangsta.” Other songs like Halle Berry (Remix), which was originally done by Hurricane Chris are included with verses from Boosie. This is a must-have tape for any fan of Louisiana hip hop and Boosie.

The Return of Mr. Wipe Me Down

This project was released in March 2009 and is considered to be one of the best Lil Boosie mixtapes of all time. He hooked up with The Runners for some production as well as V-12. Overall, the tape features a lot of bangers such as: “Take You Down” featuring T-Pain and “Long Journey” featuring Webbie. There are a few promotional joints for his latest album like “LEVIs” and “Loose As a Goose.” Songs like “Purple Drank” featuring Korleon and Gutta Twin, in addition to “Sunshine” featuring Webbie are able to give the tape that classic Bad Azz sound that fans are used to. This is a tape that you should certainly not be missing from your Boosie collection.

Streetz Iz Mine

In early December 2006, the mixtape “Streetz Iz Mine” was released by Lil Boosie and DJ Drama (Gangsta Grillz). It features 18 complete tracks of straight up fire from the Louisiana emcee. The entire Boosie mixtape is absolutely bananas, tracks like “Too Much,” followed by “U Down To Ride” get the tape off to a hot start. Torrence goes in over Young Jeezy’s “I Luv It” on the track “They Dykin.” The beat selection for this tape is perfect for the Bad Azz. What can be expected from this tape? It’s the same old dope street tracks from the Baton Rouge native. This tape has minimal guest appearances, namely from Webbie (on tracks like “Jealousy” and “Do The Rachett” – which is widely recognized as a street anthem in the south.

Lil Boosieana (Vol. 1 – 4)

For the Lil Boosieana series, he teamed up with the Trap A Holics and DJ Rell (widely recognized on the mixtape scene). He has so far put together 4 quality tapes that people need to get if they don’t have them. Most fans have agreed that they deserve a full 5 star rating out of 5 due to the fact that they are so solid and consistent. Songs like “Bitch Please” really stand out due to the fact that they feature crazy instrumentals, hard lyrics, and a ton of artistic energy from Boosie. Other tracks like “Keep It Off The Safety” he raps about the street life that he has been exposed to and people that have tried to take him down. He says “500,000 people screamin my name, now that’s a million eyes watchin my chain.”

Bad Azz Mixtape (Vol. 1 & Vol. 2)

The “Bad Azz Mixtape” is something that most Boosie fans agree is one of his best pieces of work. He has tracks on there like “Swerve 2,” “Platinum,” and “Supply Ya Man,” which are all piff tracks. On the song “U Got Respect” he talks about how he has earned respect in the rap game. On the following track called “Living Dat Life,” he talks about being from the Southside where the murder rate is high. This is one of his hardest mixtapes; bar none – if you don’t have it in your collection, then you are slacking off as a fan. The mixtape can be found at most online retailers, so do Boosie justice and support. It is commonly titled “Bad Ass” as opposed to “Bad Azz” and there are 2 volumes of music that you should check out. Tracks like “I’m Hot,” “I Miss U,” and one of the biggest bangers of all time entitled “I Know” can be found on Volume 2.

2 Of Streets Most Wanted

Lil Boosie and Webbie linked up for the project “2 of the Streets Most Wanted” with DJ 31 Degreez. This project is a 2-disc set and is definitely classic Lil Boosie from start to finish.

He goes in over The Game’s “Start from Scratch” instrumental and kills it. This tape features well over 20 tracks and all of them are fire. The mixtape ends with the song “What About Me,” in which he talks about working with other rappers and artists that tell lies in the game.

The Hood Champ

Point blank, this tape features some of the hottest songs that Lil Boosie has ever released. The Hood champ mixtape features DJ Spinz and DJ Jay-O on the drops, and some badass verses from the bad azz. Arguably one of the hottest tracks to ever come out the south called “F*ck You” featuring B.o.B. and Yola is on this tape. Similarly, flaming joints like “Product of My Environment” and “Bust Em” are unbelievably good. Although this Lil Boosie mixtape does happen to contain some songs that were previously released on other projects, it is worth getting for all fans of his music. Webbie (a fellow Baton Rouge rapper) is featured on the track “Thuggin,” which most fans are already familiar with. Be sure to get this tape into your life and prepare for nothing but 100% real rhymes from Boosie.
