BHI was signed to Atlanta rapper Lil Jon’s BME Recordings and Warner Bros. Records in early 2006. The highly publicized deal was solidified shortly after BHI member K-Rab received worldwide recognition for his production of D4L’s smash record Laffy Taffy. As one of the creators of “snap” music, K-Rab style of production has ushered in a party sound that is innovative and includes percussion finger snaps along with catchy lyrical chants and ad-libs. Having a history not only as a producer, but as a hip-hop artist as well, it only made sense that K-Rab first release would be with his group, BHI.
K-Rab, Hard Head, Yung J and Skeet make up the musical entity known as BHI. Representing Atlanta and New Orleans, BHI officially formed in early 2005. Everybody was similar but brought something different to the table. Yung J maintained a hometown friendship with K-Rab prior to joining the group. While pursuing his hustle, a solo rap career, Yung J was introduced to Skeet and Hard Head who had also been pursuing a rap career. It went from all of them doing things separately to doing it together. By compiling their talents, the groups stock quickly increased, and Born Husslers, Inc was born.
The group soon began getting recognition for their hit “Do it, Do it” (Pool Palace). Pool Palace is a club in Bankhead, on the west side of Atlanta, a spot where a lot of underground music gets played. BHI decided to give a popular Atlanta dance the name of a the Pool Palace hang out spot, so Pool Palace became the name for the very popular “snap” dance from Atlanta. Lil Jon’s signature ad-libs only add more life to the already vivacious, finger popping track.
While snap music is sprinkled all over BHIs self-titled debut album, the dance inducing genre of music is bigger than the singles put out by D4L and Dem Franchise Boyz, the BHI record contains other forms of music. They incorporate their experiences from the hood along with the playful sound of “snap” music. BHI has just released their self-titled debut album earlier this year.
