St. Louis rapper Huey (aka Baby Huey) started dropping beatniks with a supporter on his neck of the woods freeze of Arlington Ave. during his mid-teens, pickings divine guidance from colleague Dirty South stars like Chingy, Nelly, and Ludacris. Writing songs was something fun to do, but when Huey's older chum brought in music vet Angela Richardson, Huey's ambitions became more good. Richardson was cultivating a rap music group at the meter, and it wasn't long until Huey's sharp-witted rhymes became front and center. Songs such as "Oh" and "Pop, Lock & Drop It" became local favorites among DJs and promoters, further push Huey's mixtapes into college campuses and other encompassing mediums. One of these mixes, Unsigned Hype, which sold out of its 8,000 copies, caught the ear of producer TJ Chapman. Chapman by and by introduced the budding rapper to Mickey "MeMpHiTz" Wright, Vice President of A&R at Jive Records, in early 2006. The Notebook Paper, Huey's Jive debut album, appeared in mid-2007.
