Hatch began rapping in the 1990s as a member of the Southern hip hop collective Concentration Camp, eventually pursuing a solo career in 2000 with the release of his debut album Youngest of da Camp. After leaving the label the following year, he signed with Pimp C's Trill Entertainment to release his second studio album, For My Thugz (2002). One of the most prominent figures of Southern hip hop, Hatch has gone on to release thirteen solo studio albums, as well as seven collaborative albums and 44 mixtapes.[2]
In 2009, Hatch was sentenced to four years in prison on drug and gun charges. In 2010, he was indicted on first-degree murder, and was also sentenced to 10 years on multiple charges of drug possession with intent of distribution.[3] In 2012, he was found not guilty of murder. After serving 5 years in prison for drug charges, Hatch was released early on March 5, 2014.

The departure of Young Bleed from the Camp helped put Lil Boosie in a prime position amongst the group. Alongside C-Loc and Max Minelli, he served as one of the "faces" of the Camp. At 17 years of age, he recorded his debut album, the aptly-titled Youngest of da Camp, (Camp Life Entertainment, 2000).

[edit]In January 2014 Lil Boosie spoke on his prison sentence and said,
I have about 500 songs at the moment. I feel that I'm making the best music I've ever made. The more I go through in life the better my music gets and it's been crazy the last three years. I keep my music heartfelt and stick to making real music. I wouldn't even say it's hip hop music. My music is 'reality rap'. Hip hop music can make you dance and bob your head, but it can't make you cry or touch your heart like reality rap.
On September 13, 2013, it was reported that judges related to his case agreed to return his hard drives and his computers. The equipment contained a lot of music he had recorded before going to jail. Jeff Weiss, who covered Boosie's trial for Rolling Stone, reported that Boosie's attorneys believed that he would be released within the next five months.[24] On March 10, 2014, Boosie made his first comments to the public following his release from prison.

In October 2014, Boosie changed his stage name to Boosie Badazz.[26][27] and explained in a May 2015 interview with Noisey: "I got tired of just people, grown men, like "What up Lil Boosie?" No, I'm grown. It should be Mr.! You know, I'm Boosie Badazz. I'm a dad, man. Just take the shit off! That's how I was feeling ... Boosie Badazz is just like, more people say Badazz when they see me than Boosie, so I just stuck with the Boosie Badazz."[28]
2014–2015: Touchdown 2 Cause Hell and Life After Deathrow
[edit]In April 2014, Boosie announced that his sixth studio album Touchdown 2 Cause Hell would be released on July 15, 2014, but was later pushed back to September 23, 2014.[29] The album would be delayed yet again, until he unveiled the track list and announced a May 26 release date on April 22, 2015.

Bad Azz Music Syndicate
[edit]Bad Azz Music Syndicate is a record label founded by Boosie Badazz and Taquari "TQ" Hatch. While Incarcerated, TQ suggested rebranding Bad Azz Entertainment due to the many invalid artist and associates that began repping "Bad Azz Ent" unbeknownst to Boosie. TQ felt there would be a need to reestablish the brand as a music company that would be able to sign artist in the future who were more diverse and even international.
Legal issues
[edit]On October 22, 2008, Boosie was arrested after East Baton Rouge sheriff's deputies found marijuana and a Glock in his car. Boosie pled guilty to his third-offense possession of marijuana charge on September 22, 2009, and was sentenced to two years in prison the next day.[33] Judge Chip Moore doubled the sentence on November 9 after finding Boosie had violated probation while awaiting sentencing. Between his plea and sentencing, Boosie was electronically monitored and placed under house arrest.[34]
On June 17, 2010, Boosie was indicted on charges of first-degree murder of Terry Boyd.[35] He also faced charges for three counts of possession with intent to distribute narcotics (Schedule II: codeine and cocaine; Schedule I: marijuana), three counts of "conspiracy to commit possession with intent to distribute narcotics", and two counts of "conspiracy to introduce contraband into a penal institution".[35] He has stated that he is innocent of these charges.[36]
District Attorney Hillar Moore stated that the killing seemed to be "over turf". If convicted, Boosie could have faced the death penalty. Prosecutors also stated that they believed the rapper may have been involved in at least five other murders.[37] On June 28, Boosie entered a not-guilty plea in a Louisiana court room. While Boosie's defense addressed the fact that the rapper has several ongoing cases, they emphasized that he is not a murderer and rested their case without bringing any witnesses. The jury in the case came to a unanimous not-guilty verdict on the murder charge after less than 10 minutes deliberation.[38]
On November 29, 2011, Boosie was sentenced to eight years in state prison after pleading guilty to the drug charges.[39] On May 11, 2012, a jury found Boosie not guilty of first degree murder.[40]
On December 7, 2012, his attorneys were able to argue that the drug ring charge was a set up: the informant offered to provide codeine syrup for Boosie, an admitted codeine addict, in exchange for his help.[41] He was released on March 5, 2014.[25] He remained on parole until 2018.
On July 12, 2022, Boosie was detained during a traffic stop and cited with possession of marijuana.[42]
Since May 2023, Boosie has had numerous arrests and charges in the San Diego area which have been related to unlawful firearm possession.[43][44] On May 6, 2023, Boosie was arrested in San Diego after he was discovered to be a felon unlawfully in possession of a firearm after being pulled over by police for a traffic violation.[45] On July 14, 2023, moments after one unlawful firearm possession charge against him was dismissed, Boosie was arrested on additional unlawful gun possession charges outside a San Diego courthouse.[46] On July 21, 2023, a magistrate judge ordered for Boozie to be released on a $50,000 bond.[47] On July 18, 2024, less than two weeks after the other charges were dismissed, Boozie was charged with counts of unlawful firearm possession, including one for interstate commerce as a convicted felon and another for knowingly possessing a firearm while using controlled substances.[43] For the drug-related firearm possession law, Boosie faces up to 10 years in prison.[44]
Controversies
[edit]In February 2020, Boosie was criticized for comments he made towards Zaya Wade, 12-year-old daughter of American basketball player Dwyane Wade, who had recently come out as transgender, with the support of her parents, among them being "Don't cut his dick off, bruh."[6] In the same video, he went on to say that outlawing physical abuse of children gave them too much power over their parents.[7]
Also in February 2020, just days after the incident involving Zaya Wade, Boosie was asked by staff to leave a Planet Fitness in Georgia; Boosie alleged the gym's manager was hostile towards him for his comments towards Wade but a spokesperson for the company denied Boosie's claim that a personal grudge was the reason for him being asked to leave, instead stating that the rapper had failed to comply with company policies and had harassed members of the staff.[48]
In May 2020, Boosie was criticized for a now-deleted video he uploaded to Instagram in which he spoke positively of paying an adult female prostitute to perform oral sex on his son and nephew, then 12 and 13 years old, below the age of consent in any U.S. state, and allowing his minor son to watch pornography, as he felt pornography was more appropriate for children to watch than "cartoons with two men kissing".[8][49][9] Previously in 2017, in a birthday post aimed at his soon-to-be 14-year-old son, Boosie bragged that he had secured his son a "bad bitch" to perform fellatio on him for his birthday, in a post liked by 27,000 users, though he later claimed he had been joking.[50]
After rumors spread that Lil Nas X was collaborating with Boosie, Boosie went on a homophobic rant against Lil Nas X, who is openly gay, in 2021,[5] in which he urged Lil Nas X to commit suicide.[4]
Personal life
[edit]Boosie has eight children with six women.[51] He has said that he did not believe marriage was a good choice for him, because he didn't want to lose half of his fortune to his spouse in the event that he committed adultery, and has praised women who stay in a relationship with an unfaithful partner, saying he respects those women.[52][53] In 2010, one of his ex-girlfriends, Walnita "Nita" Decuir, was arrested on charges related to drug distribution for attempting to smuggle illicit substances to Boosie, reportedly marijuana, codeine, and MDMA, who, at the time, was incarcerated.[54]
On March 9, 2013, it was announced that Boosie had earned his GED certificate while incarcerated.[55]
On November 25, 2015, at the age of 33, Boosie revealed he had been diagnosed with kidney cancer.[56] He had successful surgery to remove the cancer.[57]
Shortly after Bad Azz was released, Boosie revealed that he had type 1 diabetes, having been diagnosed in childhood.[2] In April 2020, he took to Instagram to ask the public for help in locating insulin glargine, also known as Lantus, asking followers in the Jacksonville area to call him.[58]
On September 20, 2022, Boosie released Cross The Tracks: A Memoir.[59]
