Chronic tour show, to his cameo as a talented youngster on Arsenio Hall, his time at Death Row Records surrounded by rival labels and gang violence that saw the deaths of 2pac and Biggie to signing to So So Def records under Jermaine Dupri where his debut album Beware of Dog, spawned the iconic chart-topping hits like What's My Name and Bounce With Me. We also delve into why Bow dropped the "Lil" from his name, the controversies, his overdose, fatherhood and pivotal life moments that shaped him as a person as well as the question on everyone's lips Where is he now? 📧 Have a question for our 100th episode Q&A?
