B.G.

Christopher Dorsey, is a rapper in the group Hot Boys and founder of record label Chopper City Records. He began his solo career in 1995 and joined the Hot Boys in 1997. In 1999, B.G.'s single "Bling Bling" became a hit in the U.S., and its title became an established slang term.

Dorsey's stage name B.G. is short for "Baby Gangsta". B.G.'s first album was True Story, released by Cash Money Records in 1993. Following were Chopper City in 1995, and It's All On U, Pt. 1 (in 1996) and It's All On U, Pt. 2 in 1997. B.G. was also part of the group Hot Boys with other local rappers Lil Wayne, Juvenile, and Turk. The group's debut album, Get It How U Live!, was released in 1997.

Cash Money Records signed a deal with the major Universal Records label afterwards, and B.G.'s major-label debut Chopper City in the Ghetto came out in 1999. The album spawned the massive hit "Bling Bling", which, along with Juvenile's "Back That Azz Up", made Cash Money a nation wide success. "Bling Bling" also became a popular hip-hop slang term for any sort of expensive jewelry, automobiles, or other forms of opulence, which were featured heavily in Cash Money videos and on Cash Money album covers, as well as in B.G.'s life. He began wearing multiple Rolex watches and large necklaces while flashing his solid gold teeth in celebration of his success and extreme wealth. The Oxford English Dictionary added "bling bling" in 2003.[3] The Hot Boys' second album, Guerrilla Warfare, debuted within the top five spots of the Billboard 200 chart in 1999.
