Meanwhile on the strength of his tracks “Gimme Dat” and “Bad Bitch”, which began to appear on mixtapes by DJ Smallz and Evil Empire, Webbie was able to sign a deal with Atlantic Records in association with Trill. During his time with Trill Entertainment the label went from strength to strength and secured a distribution deal with Asylum Records. The first fruit of the collaboration was the 2003 album “Ghetto Stories”, followed by “Gangsta Musik” a year later. Webbie subsequently signed with Pimp C’s Trill Entertainment before his 16th birthday and began collaborating with fellow Louisiana-native Lil Boosie. Strongly influenced by the likes of Master P, UGK, and Eightball & MJG, the rapper began to focus all of his attention on his songwriting, leading his school grades to suffer. Having learned to write rhymes during elementary school, Webbie would later relate to the sounds of hardcore southern rap and used it to cope with his mother’s passing aged eight.
