Across The Water is a testament to the revival of New Orleans and the people who live there. Baby Boy Da Prince named his CD Across the Water for two reasons: 1) When Hurricane Katrina hit he swam across the water to save himself and 2) Most rappers in New Orleans come from the East Bank across the Mississippi River, Baby Boy comes from the West Bank. The top 5 artist on Myspace (8 million + total plays), Baby Boy Da Prince, recently shot a new video for his second single, “Naw Meen” which features and was produced by Mannie Fresh. He is currently doing spot dates across the country with Jeezy and he just filmed a performance for Nick Cannon’s “Wild ‘N Out.” |
