Master P discovered his raw talent for rapping when he was about nine years old and patiently guided him to through his formation years as a musician helping him to become one of the youngest professional rappers in history.When Lil' Romeo was about twelve, Master P decided that it was time for him to cut his first solo album. The self-titled release was so well-received that Lil' Romeo was instantly celebrated by hip hop music lovers, especially teenagers all over the world.The popular single "my Baby" became the teenage anthem of that time and ascended to the number one spot on the US music charts.
