Editorial Reviews

About the Artist

Following three critically and commercially acclaimed albums -- Birdman (2002), Fast Money (2005), and 5 Stunna (2007) -- and a dual-effort with Lil Wayne, 2006's Like Father, Like Son, Birdman has shown tremendous growth on the mic, which is an ironic feat for the executive-turned-artist who never claimed to be an MC.

When it comes to the business of music, Birdman is better known as Cash Money Records Co-CEO Bryan "Baby" Williams. Since founding the label in 1991 with his brother Ronald "Slim" Williams, they've lived up to their name by selling over 30 million records. Rising from humble beginnings in New Orleans, Cash Money has become synonymous with star-studded stunning. In the wake of 2005's Hurricane Katrina, Baby and Slim relocated Cash Money's base of operations from New Orleans to Miami, where they mobilized Lil Wayne to be the top selling artist of 2008. Indeed, they've created the blueprint for flipping adversity to come out on top.

Music is both the foundation and the soundtrack of the Cash Money empire, and Birdman's albums project his way of life -- gems, ink, cars, and fanciful homes. But his omniscient, all-knowing tone appeals to the masses. As the stakes continue rise, Birdman responds by flying higher and remaining an authority on the game, loyalty, and keeping it in the family business.

Product Description

multi-platinum selling recording artist Birdman is primed to rule with "Pricele$$". Three singles from the album are burning up the radio airwaves as anticipation for the album escalates. Birdman's current single, "Money To Blow," featuring the vocals of reigning Cash Money superstar Lil Wayne and Young Money's newest red-hot addition Drake, was the No. 1 most added song at Urban Radio. Produced by the talented Drumma Boy (Rick Ross, T.I., Fabolous, Plies, Young Jeezy), "Money To Blow" reached over 1 million listeners in its first week of release. On a similar trajectory, the banger "Always Strapped," produced by Mr. Beatz (Rick Ross, T-Pain & Lil Wayne) reached No. 5 on Urban Radio charts and has a combined radio audience of 433 million in Top 40, Crossover, and Urban. "Always Strapped" is a Top 10 Ringtone for the Universal Motown Record Group, with 350,000 downloads sold to date. The buzz for Priceless continues to rise with new Cash Money signee Jay Sean bringing his British sensibility to Birdman's "Written on Her," which was the No. 1 most added track on Crossover Radio as of August 25th, attracting an audience of 8.5 million. "Written on Her," is No. 22 on the Crossover Charts, is gaining momentum with a 40% increase in sales over three weeks. With the release of "Pricele$$", Birdman, a man of considerable talents, answers his first calling -- making hit records -- which he has done time and again, selling 7 million mobile products and with the platinum "Pop Bottles" ringtone. "It's not about showing who has the most swagger," Birdman says. "That all comes with the package. I'm just being me. But the focus is always great music. I want to stretch myself. The overall theme I'm trying to get across with this album is life is priceless. You have to enjoy it. You have to live like it's your last day. Live how you feel."
