Bow Wow Biography
Every now and then a kid rapper breaks through and enjoys some
short-term novelty success before getting swept away by the next big
thing, and during the early 2000s, Lil Bow Wow was one of those kid
rappers, though he did his best not to get swept away, changing his
name to Bow Wow and swapping his originally poppy style for a more
mature one.
Born in Reynoldsburg (Columbus), OH, Bow Wow began rapping at a very
young age and had developed his style quite impressively by the time he
hooked up with Jermaine Dupri of So So Def, a successful Atlanta-based
record label. Dupri had experienced much success throughout the '90s
with kid rappers such as Kris Kross and Da Brat, and he saw similar
potential in Bow Wow, enough to bring him aboard the So So Def hit
parade. Along with his right-hand man Bryan-Michael Cox, Dupri wrote
and produced the bulk of the preteen's debut album, Beware of Dog
(2000). The album spawned a runaway breakthrough single (and summer
anthem), Bounce with Me, along with a couple heavily rotated
follow-up singles, Bow Wow (That's My Name) (featuring Snoop Dogg)
and Ghetto Girls.
All this success put Bow Wow's career into overdrive: he went back into
the studio with Dupri and recorded a consciously poppy follow-up, Doggy
Bag (2002), that was intended to consolidate the youngster's success,
and he also went to Hollywood to star in Like Mike (2002), a kid-movie
vehicle about basketball that turned out pretty well. Along the way,
Bow Wow enjoyed another really big hit, Take Ya Home (produced by the
Neptunes, right around the time that duo was unstoppable, churning out
one hot hit after another), and changed his name from Lil Bow Wow to
just Bow Wow. Among other changes that took place around this time, Bow
Wow left So So Def and signed with Columbia, leaving his musical
parents, Cox and Dupri, behind as well.
His first recording for Columbia, Unleashed (2003), showcased a more
mature sound, one that straddled the mainstream and the streets
simultaneously. The album didn't do so well commercially, however, and
this didn't bode well for the pint-size rapper, especially considering
the all-too-common fate that often befalls here-today, gone-tomorrow
kid rappers. Appearances in the films Johnson Family Vacation (2004)
and Roll Bounce (2005) kept Bow Wow out of the studio for a couple
years. When he returned, he reunited with Dupri and released the Top
Ten hit Wanted in July 2005. The album included a pair of Top Five
singles, Let Me Hold You and Like You, that helped re-establish Bow
Wow as a rap star. A year later he released Price of Fame and appeared
in the film The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. For a while, he was
romantically linked with Ciara, another young urban music star. ~ Jason
