Biography

Lil Boosie was born Torrence Hatch in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on November 14, 1983, he was bestowed the nickname Boosie by his family and was raised on W. Garfield St. in a ghetto in the mean streets of south side Baton Rouge (SSB).

Growing up, Boosie was hardened by the many difficult experiences he was put through. His neighborhood, notorious for drugs and violence, was a place feared by the general population. To outsiders, it was a jungle, to residents, it was life. Boosie got very involved in basketball to stay off the streets, and was actually expected to move on to college level basketball.

At 14 years old, Boosie moved in to live with his grandmother after his father was murdered over drugs. Growing up with no father figure and without a strong guiding hand, Boosie turned to drugs and crime. After being expelled from school, Boosie picked up freestyling and began to get serious about his music. Living in the 225, Boosie had no contacts, no real means of exposure. Lil Boosie teamed up with Baton Rouge rapper C-Loc in the late 1990s and made his debut on C-Loc’s 5th album, “It’s a Gamble”, which also featured Three Six Mafia, South Park Mexican, and the rest of the Concentration Camp. This album was a saving grace for C-Loc, as he was slowly losing popularity. Releasing this album put him back in the spotlight, as he had a new young tallented rapper at his side. Baton Rouge couldn’t get enough. Shortly afterwards, Boosie released his debut CD, “Youngest of the Camp”, which sold over 10,000 units and featured fellow up and coming Baton Rouge rapper Max Minelli, which was exactly what boosie needed to jump start his career.

    @big4ever - Boosie's depth of flow? Don't get me wrong, I listen to some of his music, but he is nowhere near Pimp C. UGK is sooo much better and influental than Boosie and Webbie and Pimp C's solo albums are way more interesting than Bossie's. Most Bossie albums/mixtape are mediocre and even tho he has some good songs, his subject matter and vocabulary are incredibly predictable and generic. On top of that, his voice is annoying.

    "off the top i'm the realest.. 'why lil bossie', cause i lived it".. look at what pac did when he got out, what's boosie gonna do in a couple of months after beating a murder case and possible execution? FREE BOOSIE!! ohh and @ G0dL0vesUgly, no disrespect to pimp C, but he didn't have half of boosie's depth or flow. lov it how people pop off when they don't know sht about an artist or have only scratched the surface, yet have an opinion. u only have a total of 51 plays, and almost NONE of his good sht (so why are you even here???).. mostly a bunch of his club-bangers, typical. try doing ur homework before u speak on sht u know nothing about. listen to "goin thru some things", "my struggle", "top to the bottom", "i know" , "my niggaz".. then talk. guarantee u won't, cause boosie's the truth

    To meet it seems very very generic and substance-less... Better go and listen to some Sole or Sage Francis.
