Originally signed to Jive Records, Franks is best known for his 2006 debut single, "Pop, Lock & Drop It". Early lifeHuey was born and raised in Kinloch, Missouri. He moved to Walnut Park neighborhood of St. Louis when he was five and returned to St. Louis County as a teenager. In an interview, he remembered his community as having "a lot of drugs going on and, of course, a little bit of violence" and said that his experiences growing up in a tough area inspired his rap lyrics.[2] Music careerMusic beginningsAt age 15, Jimelle began creating hip hop beats.[3] His older brother referred Franks to producer Angela Richardson, who was creating a rap group. Franks began performing as Huey, and his songs "Oh" and "Pop, Lock & Drop It" became local favorites among DJs and promoters. Huey was featured on a series of mixtapes, one of which, Unsigned Hype, sold out of its run of 8,000 copies and was noticed by producer TJ Chapman, who introduced the rapper to Vice President of A&R at Jive Records, Mickey "MeMpHiTz" Wright, in 2006.[4] 2006-07: Notebook PaperHuey's debut album for the label, Notebook Paper, was released in mid-2007, described by Allmusic as sounding like a mixture of Nelly, Chingy, and Ludacris.[4][5] The album reached #26 on the Billboard 200 chart and #10 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[6] "Pop, Lock & Drop It", its lead single, peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his biggest hit to date. Nelly's refusal to work with Huey on his debut album prompted 2 diss tracks "Down, Down, Baby" featuring Tha Camp Boyz and "Back at Cha'".[7] Notebook Papers next single is "When I Hustle" featuring singer Lloyd. 2010: RedemptionHuey's second album, Redemption, was released on September 14, 2010 after many delays. The first official single from the album was "Smile and Wave", which features Dorrough and was released on June 15, 2010. In "Smile and Wave", Huey criticizes his critics.[2] 2013-present: TBAIn 2013 Huey announced that he had officially signed with Waka Flocka Flame's label Brick Squad Monopoly & is currently working on his third album.[8] On May 14, 2014 Huey released his mixtape entitled Project H.[9][10] DiscographyAlbums
