Master P and Birdman Unite No Limit and Cash Money for Milestone Arena Tour
According to reports from Gambit, legendary New Orleans rap moguls Percy “Master P” Miller and Bryan “Birdman” Williams have officially joined forces for a 17-city arena tour uniting their historic labels, No Limit Records and Cash Money Records. Following a shared stage appearance at a Verzuz event in Las Vegas, the two pioneering hip-hop titans launched the cross-country trek in Houston before heading to a hometown showcase at the Smoothie King Center.
Did you know? In 1998, Master P’s No Limit Records achieved a legendary output of 23 released albums, securing six platinum and five gold certifications, while Cash Money dominated the charts with multiple simultaneous Billboard top 20 albums.
Decades of Independent Hip-Hop Dominance in New Orleans
During the 1990s and early 2000s, No Limit and Cash Money transformed New Orleans into a primary capital of American hip-hop. According to historical label data outlined by Gambit, No Limit built its empire through relentless output and cross-promotion featuring artists like Mia X, Silkk the Shocker, and Mystikal. Simultaneously, brothers Bryan “Baby” Williams and Ronald “Slim” Williams scaled Cash Money into a powerhouse by signing a major distribution deal with Universal Records in March 1998 and launching stars such as Lil Wayne, Juvenile, and B.G.
Master P founded No Limit Records, first as a record shop in Richmond, California, before returning home to New Orleans in 1995 to sign local talent.
