Cash Money Records
From 1991 to 1994, Cash Money played host to local releases by artists. It sold just one album with never releasing a music video or having a Billboard hit. Some of the label's releases garnered some regional fame in New Orleans, Louisiana, but the label was little known to the national rap spotlight. Artists on the label in this period included the band U.N.L.V. (Uptown Niggas Living Violently), Kilo G, Lil Slim, and PxMxWx. In 1995, the label signed young rappers B.G., Young Buck and Lil Wayne. The signees marked what would be the second wave of Cash Money artists. In 1997, B.G. and Lil Wayne formed the band Hot Boys together with Juvenile (who had already been regionally popular before Cash Money). Although initially they did not make lots of impact outside of the region, they started to be the label's best known artists.
