Bryan Christopher Williams, better known by his stage names Birdman and Baby, is an American rapper and record executive. He is the public face of Cash Money Records, a record label he co-founded with his older brother, Ronald "Slim" Williams, in 1991. His self-titled debut studio album was released by the label in a joint venture with Republic Records; it received mixed critical and moderate commercial reception, along with his three subsequent albums: Fast Money, 5 * Stunna, and Priceless. Outside of his solo career, he is one half of the hip-hop duo Big Tymers with producer Mannie Fresh, and a member of the label's short-lived supergroup Cash Money Millionaires.
Apart from his solo work and five releases as part of Big Tymers, Birdman is best known for his discovery and mentorship of fellow New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne, with whom he released the collaborative album, Like Father, Like Son. As label-head of Cash Money Records, he has been central to the career and commercial success of Wayne, as well as future signees including Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Tyga.
