Lil Boosie Officially Change His Rap Name!
Lil Boosie is out of prison after more than five years behind
bars, and now he’s got a new rap name to go along with
all that newfound freedom. On two of his most recent
appearances—”Beez Like” off Jeezy’s Seen It All and “Jet
Fuel” from T.I.’s “Paperwork”—the Baton Rouge MC has
been credited in the liner notes as Boosie Badazz rather than
his original name Lil Boosie.
Today a rep for the rapper confirmed that the liner notes
weren’t an accident, and that they reflected an official name change for him.
Boosie Badazz was always a nickname that the rapper
trotted out; his 2006 solo album, which included the banger
“Zoom,” was titled Bad Azz, its followup three years later
was called Superbad:
The Return Of Boosie Bad Azz and his record label imprint
is known as Bad Azz Entertainment. But the official name
change puts him in the categories of the Jeezy’s and the
Bow Wow’s of the rap world who had previously given up
the no-longer-age-appropriate “Young” and “Lil” qualifiers
in their rap names.
Since Boosie was released from prison this past March he’s
dropped a slew of featured verses, but his long-awaited
comeback album, Touch Down 2 Cause Hell, has been
pushed back repeatedly since its initial July release date.
Currently, there’s no projected date for the LP to hit the
streets, but his standout feature on Tip’s Paperwork will hit
shelves when the album officially drops tomorrow.
Farewell Lil Boosie, and welcome Boosie Badazz.
