An inside look at Magnolia: Home of tha Soldiers
Magnolia Home of tha Soldiers is a very real account of being a young
Black man hustling to put food on the table while fighting for his place in the music scene. It gets the answers you want, from a group of young artists who have had to fight and struggle every day to get what they wanted and to be where they are.
Cash Money Records was in full bloom in the summer of 1999. From the fall of 1998, through the summer of 1999 the label had sold millions of albums. Juvenile’s 400 Degreez led the charge on the strength of monster singles “Ha” and “Back That Azz Up”; B.G. dominated the spring with certified classic “Bling Bling”; and Hot Boys heated up the summer with “I Need A Hot Girl”. Back to back to back to back hits, that placed them on the tip of everyone’s tongue.
B.G. was born Christopher Dorsey, September 3, 1980. B.G. was the original Hot Boy signed to Cash Money Records. His father died when he was young. Cash Money Records owners are Ronald and Bryan Williams stepped in as “big brothers” and played a major role in his life helping his mother to raise him. Dubbed Lil Doogie, He was paired up with Lil Wayne, then known as Baby D, and together the duo recorded their first album True Story for Cash Money Records as the BG‘z.
Lil Wayne was born Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., September 27, 1982. Lil’ Wayne entered the Rap game at the age of 9 and signed with Cash Money Records at 10. An only child living in the Projects, life moved at a rapid pace as his responsibilities increased. Though he excelled in school and became an Honours student, to care for his mother his after-school program placement was hustlin’ on the block. He recorded his first Cash Money Records album, True Story, at the age of 12, when he went by Lil Doogie, in a group called the BG’z with B.G. In an unfortunate accident, he shot himself in the chest with his mother’s 9 mm at the age of 12, and shortly thereafter took an extended leave of absence from the music business. He marked his return to Cash Money Records at the age of 14 and then dropped out of school in 1996 to pursue a music career full-time.
“Godfather Slim” was born Ronald Williams, May 23, 1967. Ronald “Godfather Slim” Williams is the CO-founder of Cash Money Records. He and his brother, Bryan “Birdman” Williams, came up with the Housing Projects of New Orleans hustling before starting the label in 1991 and built its foundation one seed at a time. Not much is known about Ronald "Godfather Slim" Williams. He likes to stay behind the scenes and let his brother, Bryan "Birdman” Williams, bask in the limelight. The number of published interviews with him can be recorded on one hand.
