Biography
Born Torrence Hatch to a single mother in one of Louisiana’s more dangerous neighbourhoods, Lil’ Boosie has had an upbringing that nearly reads like a list of most likely prospects for a young African-American man in today’s society. The crucial one that’s missing is becoming a gangster. While Boosie grew up around that kind of activity, he tried as hard as he could to steer clear of it, instead immersing himself into the world of basketball playing. While it looked as if his skill at the sport would lead to a college scholarship, he couldn’t escape the bad influences around him and a drugs charge lead him to be expelled from High School.
Not to be deterred, he instead poured his indomitable spirit into rapping. Soon after that he’d become involved with a local rapper turned label owner C-Loc, who was so impressed with Boosie’s work that he immediately got the young rapper recording them in his studio. A self-released debut album came next, entitled “Youngest Of The Camp”, and everything seemed to be going his way, until C-Loc was sentenced to four years in prison. Rudderless without his mentor, Boosie got sent down as well for driving a stolen car.
It could have utterly derailed his incredibly promising career there and then, and it probably would have if it wasn’t for Pimp C’s Trill Entertainment label. They signed him, got him out of jail, and after that he really started coming into his own, with his first album released on the label “For My Thugz” selling 30’000 copies completely independently. Ever since then, Boosie has been one of Hip-Hop’s true nearly men, never quite stepping out of trouble’s shadow but always justifying it with great music that, since 2005, has been being released by Asylum, a label supported by Warner Brothers Records.
Clearly, if you can work with everyone from Three 6 Mafia and T.I, to Young Jeezy and 2 Chains while still getting in trouble with the law you’re a talent to be reckoned with, and Boosie is still very much in his prime. Highly recommended.
Live reviews
I would say that Lil Boosie is known as Torrence Hatch when he’s at home, but in fact, he’s probably been officially known by an identification number for the past few years; you won’t have seen him on stage since before 2009, since he’s been serving a prison sentence since for a variety of drug charges. He was released in March of this year, though, and now he needs to make up for lost time - it wasn’t just his impressive five records to date that carved out his reputation as one of the most promising prospects in hip hop prior to his incarceration, it was also his genuinely wild live shows. Boosie comes over like southern hip hop’s very own cross between, say, Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Lil Wayne; there’s youthful exuberance in his unpredictable stage presence, sure, but a hint of the unhinged as well. With his comeback album Touchdown 2 Cause Hell released the same day I type this, his return to the road - a welcome one - is surely only around the corner.

Torrence Hatch better known by his stage name Lil Boosie, is an American rapper from Louisiana who had not had the opportunity to perform on the live circuit until last year after being incarcerated for drugs charges. He has five albums of work though and seems intent on making up on lost time to the fanbase who had been patiently waiting for the rapper's return.
He still appears on stage with a large amount of confidence, apparently unchanged by his time inside. The subject is mentioned whilst performing material from the aptly titled LP 'Incarcerated'. He tries to showcase his whole discography this evening though, reaching back to his very first release 'Youngest of da Camp' much to the delight of his more devoted fans. Working 'Wipe Me Down' and 'Better Believe It' into tonight's show was a clever move from the rapper and the crowds cheer hugely for these early tracks.

I am very disappointed because I purchased 3 tickets for my daughter and her friends and the concert was cancelled when we drove to San Antonio from Houston to then get an email this morning saying the location changed. So we did not attend and working on getting my refund from TICKETFLY....

I don't really listen to rappers anymore, Boosie is more like a story teller or a poet, I love his mindset, and how he has matured over the years. I'd love to meet him just once
