While many stories focus on the tragedy and rebuilding, there’s another side of that era rarely discussed — how the streets shifted in real time. One name that continues to circulate in Southern street lore is Edward “Slugga” Morris, a New Orleans native whose presence in Atlanta reportedly made a po

Before Cash Money Records became one of the most dominant forces in hip-hop history, there was a moment when its future could have taken a completely different turn. Few fans know that Master P — the founder of No Limit Records — once came close to buying Cash Money Records, the New Orleans label that would later launch the careers of Lil Wayne, Juvenile, Birdman, and Mannie Fresh.
