R. Kelly, Jermaine Dupri, Ja Rule and
the Big Tymers have all called on Boo &
Gotti to add some flair to their
recordings. Indeed, theres good reason
why this charismatic Chicago duo has
become one of the most promising
pairings in contemporary hip-hop. After
being sought-after as collaborators for
the last three years, the time has
finally come for Boo & Gotti to fully
flex their skills on their own solo
project. Boo & Gotti shine throughout
their debut album, "Perfect Timing," which
is being released by industry powerhouse
Cash Money Records in mid-summer, 2003.
With Boos laid-back demeanor and
Gottis hardened street-informed style,
the group is a compelling combination
that is making sure Chicago stays on the

"Weve done a lot of features and a lot
of people were like, When is your album
coming out?" Boo explains. "Weve had
different dates and all that, so we
just figured that when its our time,
its really our time. Its aint us. When
God wants it to come out that's when its
going to come out. Thats why its Perfect
Timing now." With strong stories, clever
lyrics and A-List production from
Mannie Fresh, R. Kelly, Kanye West,
Jazze Pha and others, Perfect Timing
stands as one of the most impressive
debuts in hip-hop history.

The lead single, "Aint It Man,"
featuring Lil' Wayne builds off of
popular Chicago slang. But the catchy
song almost never came to be. "We was
actually about to leave the studio but
Slim was like, Whats the slang that you
all say in Chicago?' We were running down
different stuff that we say, like aint
it man. He was like; I like that. I did
a line. Gotti did a line. Slim was
like, Dont leave. Lets do this song. We
knocked it out and Wayne put the hook on

Similar magic transpired while
concocting the meditative track "Dear
Ghetto." Produced by and featuring
Chi-towns legendary crooner, R. Kelly,
the introspective cut was written in
letterform. Boo & Gotti imagine
themselves looking down on their
friends from heaven, encouraging them to
remain strong despite how difficult life

Boo & Gotti turn their focus to their
hometown on the "Chi Town" The duo trade
verses about the city that gave them
their flamboyant style and mid-west
flair while Mannie Fresh kicks the
memorable chorus. "Chicken, fish, bossy
outfits," Fresh raps with his trademark
southern drawl. "Cadillac Escalades with
drop kicks/Hoes on the wheels/Big
grills/And the Midwest Girls dressed in
high heels/In Chi Town." With
descriptive lyrics painting a portrait of
their hometown, the track resembles a
hip-hop brochure advertising the
benefits of Chicago.

On Perfect Timing, the duo showcases
their versatility and broad range of
different hip-hop styles. "Were from the
Midwest but weve been to so many places
and we get good vibes from Florida,
Atlanta, New York," Boo says. "If you mix
all of that in there, people are going
to feel it. We can freestyle and all
that, but at the end of the day, youve
got to know how to make a record. Thats
something that both R. Kelly and Baby
coached us on. You can have all the
talent in the world, but if you cant
make a record, then whats the purpose?"

Growing up in a variety of locations on
Chicagos West Side, Boo & Gotti first
met when they were pre-teens, but it
would take several years for them to
team up as artists. Gotti, who released
an album independently in 1998, was
looking for a legal way out of the hood
and linked up with Boo when they
realized they had similar visions.

Boo & Gottis big break came in 1999 when
Boo had a chance meeting with R. Kelly
at a downtown Chicago McDonalds. The
two struck up a friendship and before
long, Boo was writing verses with R.
Kelly in the studio. Boo presented R.
Kelly with Gottis album and the R&B mogul
was immediately impressed. R. Kelly
signed Boo & Gotti to his Rock Land
Records and featured them on two songs
on his 2000 album, TP-2.com. Boo & Gottis
memorable appearances on "I Wish - Remix
(To The Homies That We Lost)" and
"Fiesta" (and its remix with Jay-Z),
established Boo & Gotti as an exciting
new hip-hop team that had a new voice in
the dense hip-hop industry.

From there, Boo & Gotti found
themselves fielding calls from a bevy of
hip-hops best talent. Their skillful
rhymes were featured on Jermaine Dupris
Instructions album, Ja Rules Pain Is
Love album and the Big Tymers Hood

Although they worked with R. Kelly
extensively, other labels interested in
signing them regularly approached Boo &
Gotti. Focused on his own career, R.
Kelly encouraged his protgs to sign with
Cash Money, which they did in November

With their already impressive track
record, Cash Money gave Boo & Gotti
plenty of room for their creative vision,
whether that meant coming up with song
concepts or using producers other than
Cash Moneys main producer, Mannie Fresh.

"Thats why we respect Cash Money CEOs
Slim and Babys minds so much," Gotti
says. "They dont try to control
everything. They know whats good music.
Slim does his thing. Baby does his
thing. They let everybody shine. Then,
with the work ethic they have, they stay
in the studio. They stay working. When
we arent in the studio, were on the road
doing events, clubs. They keep doing

Now, after touring and appearing with
the biggest names in rap, Boo & Gotti
are ready to spread their good-natured
vibes to a legion of hip-hop fans. All
its going to take is "Perfect Timing,"
something Boo & Gotti know plenty
