What was the Hot Boys first album?

The Hot Boys (sometimes Hot Boy$ or Hot Boyz) were an American rap group active from 1997 to 2003. Currently there is talk of the group reuniting for another album, however nothing has yet been released. The group consists of rappers formerly on the New Orleans-based record label, Cash Money Records. The members were Juvenile, Lil' Wayne, B.G. and Turk (Often called "Young Turk" or "Lil Turk"). Rapper Bulletproof was an original member, but left the group before they released their first album.

The Hot Boys were originally based loosely on a group of hustlers and gangsters that ran uptown New Orleans in the late 80's and early 90's. The original Hot Boys were Terrence "Gangsta" Williams (Brother of Cash Money CEO Bryan "Birdman" Williams) Sterling, Mosquito, and Dooney. The only surviving Hot Boy is Gangsta, who is currently serving three life sentences in Ohio. Bryan "Birdman" Williams has always maintained a close relationship with the remaining Hot Boy, which has fueled rumors that the Cash Money CEO may be involved in illegal activities, including the 1996 murder of Cash Money rapper Yella Boy of U.N.L.V.. The later Hot Boys group on Cash Money took this name, but had no connection with this earlier group.

Throughout the year of 2001, there was a lot of controversy surrounding legal issues within members of the group. Juvenile, B.G., and Turk felt like they weren't getting their "fair share" in their money from Baby and Slim, the owners of Cash Money Records. This led to the three departing from Cash Money Records in 2002. After some time away from the label, they resigned in 2003 and the group released their third and to date last album, titled Let 'Em Burn. Following this album more issues with the label ensued, and the three again left Cash Money. From then until 2010, Lil Wayne was the only former Hot Boys member still on Cash Money. However, this changed in 2010 when B.G. & Turk resigned with the label.

In 2007, B.G. and Lil Wayne announced that the Hot Boys would reunite for another album in 2010. To further the announcement, on a televised interview promoting Tha Carter III, Lil Wayne stated to the public, "this was going to happen, and not just a rumor, but that some things needed to be taken care of before the album is a possibility". This led to a surprise track on a Lil Wayne mixtape with the Hot Boys and Mannie Fresh called "Money All Around Me" which also promoted their reunion. On B.G.'s album Too Hood to Be Hollywood, Ya Heard Me with B.G., Juvenile, and Trey Songz debuted as a possible single for their upcoming album.The Hot Boys officially reunited on stage at a concert.

There’s only a handful of 90s rap groups that have stood the test of time. When the “Bling-Bling” era launched ghetto entrepreneurs into different tax brackets, record labels such as Cash Money, Bad Boy, Rocafella, and more took over with their own crews.

At the height of boy band mania, there was a different type of all male group tapping into the top 40 charts. There were The Backstreet Boyz, N’Sync, and… then came Nawlins’ Hot Boyz.. Members Juvenile, Lil Wayne, B.G. and Turk introduced a whole new style of music to the world.

Formed on the streets of New Orleans in 1996, these 4 young men (with producer Mannie Fresh) created their own international movement under the guidance of mentors Birdman and Slim, Cash Money records owners.

Over the top jewelery, tales of drug dealin’ and thuggin’, and their own slang helped the Hot Boyz turn out hit-after-hit. As a group they were able to turn out three successful albums: Get It How You Live (97), Guerilla Warfare (99), and Let Em’ Burn (03). Unfortunately, money disputes lead the childhood comrades to disband in 2001.

Since then, each Hot Boy was able to find some degree of solo success, most notably Lil Wayne. Each member also dealt with their own trials and tribulations. All four original Hot Boyz are alive today (member Bulletproof left the group soon after they formed). Turk was just released from prison after serving nearly 9 years. Unfortunately, B.G. was just hit with a 14-year prison sentence for weapons charges. The future of the group remains uncertain, but in their honor, check out a complete timeline of the Hot Boyz’ careers.

Formed in 1997, the Hot Boys consisted of four youthful rappers from the same neighborhood of New Orleans, LA. Two of the four, B.G. and Juvenile, were already regionally successful, each having spent…
