birdman

Born as Bryan Williams on February 15, 1969 in New Orleans, Louisiana, former rapper "Baby" Williams is best known as the Birdman since his incursion in business as a record executive that did not pull him away from his musical career.

Birdman left his New Orleans home in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina flooded and damaged his home. Before this time, he formed Cash Money Records with his brother Ronald "Slim" Williams in 1991 releasing albums for Juvenile, B.G. and the Hot Boys, just to name a few.

This powerhouse platform served Birdman to demonstrate his vocal talent singing with the Hot Boys. Bryan Williams, the CEO, relied on producer Mannie Fresh to make Cash Money a competitive label, because "Baby" Williams is always willing to display his ability to spit some rap.

In 1997 Birdman and Mannie formed Big Tymers and released the single "How you Luv that?" in 1998, but Big Tymers also featured many of Cash Money's artists including Turk, Juvenile, T.Q., Gotti, Boo, BG, and Lil' Wayne, serving the purpose of promoting the label's soloists.

Performing within Big Tymers, Birdman improved his rapper's skills and developed his own songwriter style at the point that he went solo for the releasing of his self-titled album "Birdman" in 2002 and "Fast Money" in 2005.

After a whole year renovating his New Orleans house after the hurricane, Birdman announced the return to his former home and played a cameo role in the 2005 movie “Beauty Shop”. During this period of time, Williams directed the Lugz Company's urban footwear collection and narrated Midnight Club 3 video game (Dub Edition).

"Five Star General" (or simply 5G) is the third Birdman's album, announced to be released sometime in October 2007, and will include the confirmed track "Pop Bottles" featuring Lil Wayne and Jadakiss.

Birdman is often associated with his early influences coming from fellow musicians such as N.W.A., 2Pac, and Too Short. Although, his activities as producer and rapper are well known, there is very little known about Birdman's private life, except that he has a son named Brian Jr. and a daughter Christened Bria.
