Biography

No Limit Records CEO and multi-platinum artist Master P built his empire from the (under) ground up. His rise from cult hero to commercial superstar has allowed him to create and disassemble acts at will, making for a controversial and prolific career. In 2000 the 504 Boyz -- a rotating collective of some of rap and hip-hop's finest, including C-Murder, Silkk the Shocker, Magic, and Krazy, and led by Master P -- released their debut album, Goodfellas, which went platinum and established the group as a force to reckon with. In 2003 they put out Ballers, featuring newcomers Choppa, T Bo, and a cameo by Lil' Romeo. They also released a version that contains a supplemental DVD. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide

504 Boyz is a hip hop group led by Percy Miller, aka Master P. Originally the group consisted of Master P, Mystikal and Silkk The Shocker (under the aliases Nino Brown, G. Money, & Vito respectively). Right before the release of their first album C-Murder & Krazy (rapper) were added to the lineup. This lineup was intact on their debut, 'Goodfellas' which contained the hit 'Wobble Wobble', which peaked at #17 in the U.S.[citation needed].

After No Limit Records moved over from Priority Records to Universal Records, their lineup was altered from the first album Goodfellas, C-Murder was incarcerated, Mystikal who had left the label not long after the Goodfellas album was released was also incarcerated so the only returning members were Krazy, Master P & Silkk The Shocker. Their new line up consisted of Choppa, Currency, Krazy, Magic, Master P, Silkk The Shocker & T-Bo for their second album, Ballers, which includes the hit Tight Whips. After Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, 504 Boyz released their third and currently their final studio album, We Gon Bounce Back.

504 is the area code for New Orleans.
