    Lil Wayne Biography

    Lil Wayne (born September 27, 1982, New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.) is an American rapper who became one of the top-selling artists in hip-hop in the early 21st century.

    Lil Wayne grew up in New Orleans’s impoverished 17th Ward. There he came to the attention of Cash Money Records head Bryan Williams, and he soon became a member—with Juvenile, B.G., and Turk—of the label’s all-star group Hot Boys and won notice for the albums Get It How U Live! (1997) and Guerrilla Warfare (1999). Lil Wayne’s first solo LP, Tha Block Is Hot, arrived later in 1999 and sold more than a million copies, but two subsequent releases, Lights Out (2000) and 500 Degreez (2002), were less popular with the public.

As a member of the Hot Boys, Wayne put New Orleans — with its gold slugs, oversized white tees, Reeboks, and infamous housing projects — on the map. Even as a bonafide superstar with a legitimate claim to the title of “Best Rapper Alive,” Wayne’s verses were still peppered with references to his childhood, his neighborhood, and his city.

    As a rising DJ and radio personality for New Orleans’s Q93 station in the mid-’90s, Wayne Benjamin, known to his listeners as Wild Wayne, witnessed the rise of Cash Money’s young prodigy. He was the first to break Wayne’s early records to the rest of the country and, in recent years, has been one of the few members of the media to whom Lil Wayne has granted in-depth interviews.

    Wild Wayne recently spoke to The FADER about the formative days of Cash Money, the importance of the Hot Boys, and Lil Wayne’s legacy in the city of New Orleans.

    WILD WAYNE: I started doing radio in ’91, just as a part-time little hustle in college. After doing it just for a couple of days, answering the phones and doing some show production work at the station, my characte
