WAYNE

As a member of the platinum supergroup the Hot Boys, Lil Wayne has already made his mark as one of the world's youngest top talents. No one can match his quick wit, lyrical dexterity or down-home Southern charm. He is one of the few hardcore reality-rappers that can write rhymes without profanity. When he blesses the microphone, Lil Wheezy, as he is affectionately known in New Orleans, drops words so full of game and street wisdom, that he makes a person wonder how a young boy learned so much game.

He was born and raised in Hollygrove. The 17th Ward community of Hollygrove, a place riddled with violence and poverty, Wayne struggled to do right, but increasingly found himself attracted to the lure of street life. It wasn't long before he put school on hold, where he was a good student earning decent grades, to take up hustling full time. Fortunately, he stayed out of big-time trouble. Props to Cash Money Records.

He listened religiously to local rappers like UNLV and pimpdaddy-both whom are signed to cashmoney records. At the same time he was constantly penning his own rhymes. Lil Wayne is one of the youngest in tha group. He works very hard night and day. He has 3 solo cd's out.

At the moment there is some beef going on between him and Juvenile. Juvenile was a member of the group but isn't anymore. He has 1 girl that is 3 or 4 I think. He said his future goals in life are to take over cashmoney records.

Well now u know who my hero is and why. He went from the ghetto and made something of himself which I hope 2 do. ***HOLLA***
