Early career
Before Master P made it big Romeo admits that he wasn't always rich and
life was hard growing up (mentioned on Wont Stop Cant Stop). He was
featured a in few skits from his fathers early tracks but his father
found out he had the gift when Master P kept Romeo home to play with his
cousins. He came back and Romeo at the age of 4 wrote a rap song with
his cousins. He then grew up performing with his cousins and on Master
P's albums.
Music career
Before all of his success Romeo always had a gift for rapping even at
the young age of 4. His father Master P mentioned that he left him home
to play with his cousins one day and came home and his son told him he
wrote a rap song all by himself. Also before Romeo became famous he was
featured in some of Master P's early records. At the age of 10, Lil
Romeo followed in his father Master P's footsteps and became a rapper.
He beat Michael Jackson's record of the youngest person to get a number
one with his first single "My baby". His success came from his two early
studio albums, mainly Game Time. He mentioned that he did the album all
by himself, at his home studio, which was shown on the show MTV Cribs.
Lil Romeo also released a third album called Romeoland, but this didn't
get as much attention as his previous two. It starred guest appearance
from Nick Cannon, Master P, and his new group, the Rich Boyz. He also
released two compilation albums, Lottery and God's Gift.
Romeo opened a new recording label named Guttar Music. Romeo also
appeared on most of his father's greatest hits, such as "I Need Dubs".
He is in a rap group with his cousins and younger brother, Young V
called "Rich Boyz". So far the Rich Boyz have released one studio album
but the group appeared on most of the tracks on God's Gift. Since then,
Romeo has been working on his new album, Gumbo Station. This will be his
first studio album for three years and his first studio album to use the
name Romeo. He mentioned on his myspace page that this is going to be
his best album yet. Guests will include Master P and the Guttar Music
Family and production by Dr Dre. Despite many others in the industry,
Romeo will not be changing his lyrical style too much. He has stated
that he will not try and toughen up his lyrics saying "Why try and act
hard when I'm a role model?". He mentioned also that some songs on the
album will make you want too dance, sing and even cry too. He writes all
of his lyrics on his records and has said that he has been a ghostwriter
for some artists. After the album has been released in 2007, Romeo will
be concentrating more on his basketball than his music. |
