Webbie (real name - Webster Gradney, Jr.) is a rapper from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He was born September 6, 1985.
Ever since he was five years old, he had been writing rhymes, and throughout his childhood he had become an avid fan of hardcore rap artists including Southern hip hop performers Master P, Eightball & MJG, the Geto Boys, and UGK, as well as West Coast rap such as 2Pac, Eazy-E, and Snoop Dogg.
Things changed for him one day in the fall of 2001 after he made a freestyle rap about his late mother. Thus, he was signed to independent label Trill Entertainment by rapper Pimp C of UGK.
Under Trill, he recorded two albums in collaboration with fellow Baton Rouge-based rapper Lil' Boosie, Ghetto Stories in 2003 and Gangsta Musik in 2004. As Webbie's solo tracks "Gimme Dat" (featuring Bun B of UGK) and "Bad Bitch" were frequently featured in mixtapes, Trill began a deal to sign Webbie to the Warner Bros. Records subsidiary label Atlantic Records.
His major-label debut Savage Life was released in 2005, debuting at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 2007, he wrote and performed on the track "Wipe Me Down" by rapper Foxx and began work on his follow-up album Savage Life 2 in January 2008. It debuted at number four on the Billboard Hot 100, selling 72,000 copies its debut week. Singles from Savage Life 2 include "Independent" featuring Lil' Boosie and Foxx and "I Miss You" featuring LeToya Luckett.
