It was in 1997 that Birdman joined forces with the producer DJ Mannie Fresh to create a project called the Big Tymers. They debuted in 1998 with a collection of works necessitating the album “How Ya Luv That?” which was followed by “I Got That Work” in 2000, which featured the songs “#1 Stunna” and “Get Your Roll On”. The following album, “Hood Rich” featured the singles “Still Fly” which was nominated for a Grammy Award.
His solo career has been a fantastically successful one over the years with chart positions to match. “Fast Money”, his sophomore album, released on June 21st 2005 made it to number 9 on the Billboard 200 and number 4 in the R&B Charts. It was the highest charting album of his career so far.
Birdman collaborated with Lil Wayne to release an album entitled “Like Father, Like Son”. Released on October 31st 2006, it became a gold record, and featured three singles on it such as “Stuntin’ Like My Daddy”, going to number three in the Billboard 200 chart. He released his fourth studio album “5 * Stunna” with the first single being “Pop Bottles”. It was released on December 11th 2007 and went to number 18 in the Billboard 200 chart.
He was a part of the collaborative album released on July 23rd 2013. It was called “Rich Gang” and made it to number 9 on the Billboard 200.
Avis
To give you an indication of the degree to which hip hop and the business world now cross over, consider the fact that Birdman - or Bryan Williams, when he’s at home - has released four solo records, all of which met with a lukewarm critical reception and did reasonably well commercially; the highest chart peak for one of those records was at number nine in the U.S. Now consider the fact that he is worth an estimated $160 million. This is a man so rich that once gave Lil Wayne a million dollars in cash for his birthday. Quite rightly, too, though, because Wayne is a big part of why Birdman is so wealthy; he’s the founder of Cash Money Records. Accordingly, he’s spent more time recently working on his label and on the music of the label’s stars than his own material, but plans to release a new record of his own, Bigga Than Life, in the not-too-distant future; similarly, he only makes sporadic live appearances, and is often accompanied by some of his Cash Money proteges in order to augment his own back catalogue. The chances of new UK dates soon, then, are slim, with anybody lucky enough to catch his Shepherd’s Bush show with Drake in 2010 left to cherish the memory.
