The Hot Boys were an American hip hop group, active from 1997 to 2001, and collectively made up of the most popular performers on the New Orleans-based record label Cash Money Records. Its members included B.G. (Real name Christopher Dorsey), Juvenile (Terius Gray), Lil Wayne (Dwayne Carter), and Turk (Tab Virgil).
From 1997 to 2001, the Hot Boys were collectively and separate the most popular acts on Cash Money. In 2001, Juvenile, B.G., and Turk all left the label, with Lil Wayne continuing as a solo artist.
Originally a 1920s New Orleans slang for flashy, showboating individuals, the term “Hot Boys” was adopted by four friends from the Magnolia Projects and HollyGrove due to their penchant for wearing red and having luxury items in the hood. The four friends Gangsta, Sterling, Dooney and Mosquito were notorious thugs on the streets of New Orleans, and it was rumoured that when the Hot Boys were taken off the streets, the murder rate of New Orleans dropped.
Terrance “Gangsta” Williams was one of several children born to Terrance Sr. His half-siblings also included Ronald and Brian Williams. In a chance meeting at a funeral and unaware of their relations, Ronald had a conversation with Terrance in which he discovered that they were half brothers. Following this discovery, Terrance worked with his brothers on developing their label, Cash Money. When Cash Money’s flagship artists were put into a supergroup, Terrance lent the name of his group to the upstart musicians. The rap group “Hot Boys” was born.
Juvenile, B.G., Turk & Mannie Fresh will make a reunion album of the Hot Boys without Lil’ Wayne. B.G. & Juve already confirmed that they recorded a couple of tracks for the yet untitled album. It is possible that Young Buck might fill in as a member.
