New Orleans native B.G. will introduce The Chopper City
Boyz
‘ debut album We Got This on his Chopper City Records imprint this
February. B.G. has helped The Chopper City Boyz (Sniper, Hakim aka Hakizzle,
VL Mike and Gar
) develop a following by featuring the group on four of
his last studio albums that were released through his Chopper City imprint, which
is marketed and distributed by KOCH Records.

"After being in the game for 12 years, I’m introducing my new group,"
B.G. said in a statement. "The Chopper City Boyz are the next step in the
Chopper City movement. Since the breakup of my super group, The Hot
Boyz
, there’s been a lack of talented real Hip-Hop groups from the
South. The Chopper City Boyz are gonna change all that." The first single
from the album is "Make Em Mad," which features The Chopper City Boyz
and B.G. The single was produced by Mississippi producer and rapper, David
Banner
. "I’m the s**t on the boards and this is the first part
of my take over [on production]," David Banner said of the single. "I’m
sick of playing!"

As a member of Cash Money Records’ group The Hot Boyz, B.G. helped usher in
a new Southern sound in Hip-Hop along with former group members Lil’
Wayne, Juvenile and Turk
, who is serving 10 years behind bars for weapons
charges stemming from a Jan. 2004 shootout with Memphis SWAT Team members. During
his stint as a member of The Hot Boyz, B.G. was featured on critically acclaimed
and commercially successful albums like Get It How U Live (1997), Guerrilla
Warfare (1999) and Let ‘Em Burn (2003).

As a solo artist, B.G. had a massive hit with the single "Bling Bling,"
which was taken from his 1997 album Chopper City in the Ghetto. The term, which
is slang for expensive jewelry, eventually made its way into the Oxford English
Dictionary and Websters dictionary.
