Baby A.k.a Birdman

Bryan Christopher Williams, known as Baby or Birdman, started Cash Money Records in the 1990s with his childhood friend Lil Wayne. The label became a major force in Southern hip-hop, and his 1997 album 'Birdman' helped establish his presence as a rapper. Songs like 'Shyne On' and 'Get It All Together' with Lil Wayne became part of the label's sound during that period.

His career has included legal issues and disputes with artists over contracts and finances, including public conflicts with Lil Wayne and Boosie Badazz. These matters have been part of the narrative around Cash Money's operations.

Musically, he's associated with tracks that emphasize lavish themes, such as 'Ghetto Life' and 'Neck Of The Woods'. The production often featured collaborators like Mannie Fresh, contributing to the label's distinct style in the late '90s and early 2000s.
