Mannie Fresh
A New Orleans native, Mannie Fresh started his career in 1984, as a member of the infamous Crescent City DJ/hip-hop crew, New York Incorporated. Many local music historians credit NYI with being the first hip-hop crew in the City. Mannie soon earned a reputation as one of the most popular DJs in New Orleans. His skills for rocking parties were legendary as was his ability for scratching. In the early 90s, Mannie left NYI and formed his first duo with, the legendary MC Gregory D. The two landed a deal with RCA and dropped an album called the Real Deal in 1992.Although hailed as a monumental album by fans of old school New Orleans hip-hop, the Real Deal failed to make any real noise outside of the Deep South, as a result the duo was unceremoniously dropped. Although the two remain friends to this day, they eventually parted ways, leaving Mannie on his own once again until a mutual friend introduced him to Brian Baby Williams, co-CEO of the fledging Cash Money Records. .
The Showboys
Bounce Music started off in 1986 in New Orleans, LA with the arrival of the Showboys' vinyl record called "Drag Rap" which is also known as "Triggerman."
