Christopher Dorsey (born September 3, 1980) better known by his stage name B.G. (short for "Baby Gangsta" or "B. Gizzle"), is an American rapper and hip hop recording artist from New Orleans, Louisiana. He began his music career signing to Cash Money Records in 1993, with Lil Wayne (then known as Baby D.) as half of the duo The B.G.'z . Both, along with rappers Juvenile & Turk, collectively formed the group, the Hot Boys in 1997. In 2001, B.G. resigned from Cash Money Records, & created his own label, Chopper City Records.
Dorsey was born on September 3, 1980 in Uptown's 13th Ward, on Valence & Magnolia Street.
In 1993, at the age of 13, B.G. signed to Birdman and Slim's label Cash Money Records. Birdman ended up later introducing B.G. to his labelmate Lil Wayne and they formed a group called The B.G.'z, at the time B.G. was named Lil' Doogie and Lil Wayne went by Baby D. They released True Story which was locally successful.
Following were Chopper City in 1996. It is considered a southern classic and his most consistent lyrical album. He then released It's All on U, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 in 1997. B.G. was also part of the group Hot Boys with other local rappers Lil Wayne, Juvenile, Turk, and Baby's nephew Derrick a.k.a. Bulletproof. Soon after Derrick, the fifth member of the Hot Boys, left the group to pursue a solo career. The group's debut album, Get It How U Live!, was released in 1997.
