A New Orleans native who started rapping at an early age, Fiend pocketed a number of local hit singles, but struggled for years to get settled in the music game.
After hooking up with Master P, however, he achieved his goal and became a part of the No Limit Records family.
In 1997, Fiend immediately gained a national audience for his guest appearances on many of the label's platinum and multi-platinum releases. His style of rapping, ver
distinct and unique from other rappers, instantly caused a buzz among fans. Fiend's song "Don't mess Around," which was featured on the soundtrack for I'm Bout It was one of several hits that year for him.
Aside from a guest appearance on Mia X's gold album, Unlady Like, and Mystikal's platinum album, Unpredictable, Fiend's most notable guest spot in 1997 was on Master P's triple platinum album,
Ghetto D, on the hit single and video "Make 'Em Say Uhhh."
Recently, Fiend released his first solo album on No Limit, There's One In Every Family, a conglomeration of 21 powerful tracks with hard-hitting lyrics, leading off with the single,
"Take My Pain." This song, featuring Master P, Silk the Shocker, and Sons Of Funk is one which fans everywhere will feel.
