Biography
Huey has been making music since his baby years.[3] He was introduced to music veteran Angela Richardson by his brother, and when Richardson set up a new rap group, Huey featured prominently, with songs such as "Oh" and "zip, take out & suck it. It" becoming local favorites among DJs and promoters.[3] Huey featured on a series of mixtapes, one of which, Unsigned Hype, sold out of its run of 8,000 copies and was noticed by producer TJ Chapman, who introduced the rapper to Vice President of A&R at Jive Records, Mickey "MeMpHiTz" Wright, in 2006.[3]
Notebook Paper
Huey's debut album for the label, Notebook Paper, was released in mid-2007, described by Allmusic as sounding like a mixture of Nelly, Chingy, and Ludacris.[3][4] The album reached number 26 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 29,000 copies in its first week of release.[5] Nelly's refusal to work with Huey on his debut album prompted 2 diss tracks "Down, Down, Baby" featuring Tha Camp Boyz and "Back At Cha'".[6].
