With all of his elaborate possessions – from jewels to cars and homes; his cash money making ventures- from music to videogames to shoes and clothing; Bryan “Birdman aka Baby” Williams is poised to continue shining in everything he does.  The New Orleans bred, Miami loving and living, artist slash entrepreneur, has spent over a decade perfecting his hustle and adjusting his swagger to the beat of his own drum. The mega-house that Birdman helped to build, alongside his brother Ronald “Slim” Williams, is known to legions of fans as Cash Money.  As they celebrate the tenth anniversary of the 45 million selling, gold and platinum plaque adorning, Cash Money Empire and reputation, the man with many nicknames unleashes his third solo effort, 5 Stunna, to hip-hop fans everywhere.

“My nicknames went with the time I put in with my music.  Five star stunna, that’s me doing me, just Bryan Williams, the stunna man.”   In preparation for his latest release, the Cash Money co-founder, CEO and platinum-plus star has kept busy. Having suffered loss and persevered to regain himself, Birdman spent the past two years performing with Cash Money signature superstar Lil Wayne. Fresh from their pairing Like Father, Like Son and the wildly successful single “Stuntin’ Like My Daddy,” Birdman is clear on whom he represents “we do our music for the people,” and the people kindly acknowledge him in return.

In his music as in life, Birdman injects himself fully into the mix at an aggressive, accelerated rate.  “When I do an album I want it to be me, my personality, my character, what I love, what I live for and I think in my music, that’s what I bring across,” explains the high ranking influential.   “I’m into cars, nice beautiful things, and I think on this album, I brought you along into my personal life.  I went into more depth about the things I’ve been through and our life experiences.”   The first single and video from 5 Stunna, “Pop Bottles” featuring Lil Wayne, sounds like classic Cash Money.  Reminiscent of the archives from the CM vault, time spent with the Hot Boyz and Big Tymers, the speeded up synthesizer that pounces like a southern bounce record, yet creeps in on the low, is contemporary, five-star quality.  When Birdman and Wayne crafted the lyrics for the track, they were doing what they do, toasting their recent success ‘poppin’ bottles.’   5 Stunna carefully weaves a cautionary tale not only from the perspective of its official G, but also from the perspective of the old man narrator from the Like Father, Like Son album.

In 2009 he joined the Freestyle Saturday rap show that was organised by Solid FM in Kumasi and placed 3rd out of over 400 rappers.

Phrimpong caught the attention of Xxtra Music, a record label based in Japan and got signed as the first born of the virgin record label.

In his insatiable quest to free people out of their plights, he saw the need to address the shortcoming of his religion, Christianity and addressed them in a 3 minute video titled Religion. 

Been a Pan-African from childhood, he released another song called Africa which he featured Skulboy, a local artiste from the Northern part of Ghana, a song which talks about the wealth and worth of Africa.

In addition he has a ‎peace song to sensitize Ghanaian on the need for peace in an election year.

Seeing the suffering on the streets and underprivileged from afar and passionate about giving back to society, Phrimpong collaborated with the exuberant and visionary youth group, Cassava Boys Network on a Philanthropic deed; a dream endeavour. This extreme humanitarian passion conferred on him a Brand Ambassadorial deal with Cassava Boys Network in 2017.

Phrimpong was nominated in the 'Most Influential Student in Music' category for UMB Ghana Tertiary Awards 2017 and plans touring Educational Institutions to campaign against skin bleaching with his beautiful laced piece titled “Diamonds”, which talks more on the effects of skin toning and bleaching. 

After three months hiatus off the music scene to pursue academics, the rapper returned in 2018 with a thanksgiving freestyle, dedicated to industry players for their support. He subsequently released a 'hardcore' freestyle titled 'PORN' addressing the ailing Ghanaian music industry and followed up with a bang 'Wanya Lie No' featuring Amerado and femcee Eno Barony.



The journey still continues ... Wanya lie no?
