Jerome Cosey, better known as 5th Ward Weebie, was a cornerstone in New Orleans' Bounce music scene, a subgenre of hip-hop known for its energetic beats and call-and-response style. Born and raised in the 5th Ward of New Orleans, Weebie made his mark on the music industry with his distinctive voice, infectious hooks, and an uncanny ability to electrify a crowd.

5th Ward Weebie's career boasted a series of high-energy tracks that resonated with the raw spirit of New Orleans. His catalogue includes noteworthy releases like "Get Out the Way," "Twerk Gone Wild," and "Do You," which were all reflective of the vibrant club culture in the city. His song "Let Me Find Out" became an anthem in New Orleans and spawned a popular remix featuring rap heavyweights Snoop Dogg and Juvenile. Weebie’s legacy extends beyond just music; he was a beloved local figure who often gave back to his community, especially in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, highlighted by his track "Fuck Katrina," which voiced the pain and resilience of his hometown. Tragically, 5th Ward Weebie passed away on January 9, 2020, but his music continues to influence and represent the heart of New Orleans bounce music.
