A New Orleans based label founded by Bryan 'Birdman' Williams and Ronald 'Slim' Williams in 1991. The label is named after Nino Bowns 'Cash Money brothers' in Mario Van Peebles movie New Jack City. Cash Money started of as a local bounce label and during the independent years between 1992-1998 the roster was; Kilo-G (RIP) a local Geto Boys/Ganksta Nip influenced rapper. U.N.L.V. a bounce group from 6th & Barrone consisting of rappers Yella Boy (RIP), Tec-9 & Lil Ya. Mannie Fresh became the inhouse producer in 1993 after his first project with PxMxW (Pussy, Money & Weed) called Legalize 'Pass the Weed', PxMxW (Big Man, Black Jack and Big Heavy) came from the Iberville projects. Birdman performed under the name B-32 during the early years. Lil Slim was a rapper from Hollygroove, he released 3 bounce/g-funk tapes on CMR. Ms. Tee was another early Cash Money artist and likewise her boyfriend the 9th Ward legend Pimp Daddy (RIP). Another 9th Ward rapper was the man with the hockey mask Mr. Ivan (RIP). Magnolia $horty (RIP) did a classic EP on CMR called Monkey On The D$ck. In 1995 a duo was formed called The B.G.'Z (baby gangstaz), consisting of thirteen years old Lil Doogie (B.G.) and eleven years old Gangsta D (Lil Wayne). They both would be the future of CMR with successful solo carrers and as members of the Hot Boys. Hot Boys was a group consisting of B.G., Juvenile, Lil Wayne and Turk. Juvenile was a bounce artist with some regional fame and he decided to sign with Cash Money in 1996 after he had heard the classic Big Boy/Mystikal diss Drag Em To The River by U.N.L.V. At the end of the independent era the only members left was Hot Boys and Big Tymers (Mannie Fresh & Birdman). In 1998 Cash Money caught the attention of Universal Records and signed a very lucrative deal with the major label. During the major era Cash Money would stack up hits like Bling Bling, Ha, Back That Azz Up, Big Ballin, I Need A Hot GirlandTha Block Is Hot. These hit records would put CMR at the top of the rap game. From 1998 until present time the roster would change many times, westcoast legend Mack 10 joined the CMR family for a short period of time, so did Nashvilles Young Buck, R&B/Soul singer Teena Marie (RIP) and the Chicago duo Boo & Gotti. Between 2002-2005 B.G., Juvenile, Mannie Fresh and Turk would leave the label after financial differences. Lil Wayne's carrer skyrocketed and Birdman became one of the richest rappers in the country. Today Cash Money is one of the most successful pop/rap labels with artist like Drake, Nicki Minaj, Jay Sean, Tyga, Mystikal, Lil Wayne and Birdman.
