About

Comprising the Hot Boys and the Big Tymers, the Cash Money Millionaires are aptly named, as arguably the most successful - and profitable - Southern crew in the rap game today. Founded by the Williams brothers in 1991, Cash Money Records has evolved from a small locally minded label into a hugely popular imprint with worldwide distribution and a knack for platinum hits. They closed out the '90s on an unstoppable roll, with massive airplay, record-breaking sales, and sold-out stadium tours. Cash Money's signature sound, provided by in-house producer Mannie Fresh, has influenced a whole generation of beatmakers, both above and below the Mason-Dixon line.
