Webbie, born Webster Gradney, Jr. on September 6, 1985, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is a prominent figure in the Southern hip-hop scene, known for his gritty lyrics and contributions to the "gangsta rap" subgenre. Emerging in the early 2000s, Webbie gained initial recognition with the release of his song "Gimme That," featuring Bun B. His subsequent alliance with fellow Baton Rouge rapper Lil Boosie bolstered his standing in the rap community, leading to several collaborations that resonated with fans of the Southern rap movement.

Webbie's success is marked prominently by his "Savage Life" series of albums, which reflect his experiences and the societal realities of his upbringing. With "Savage Life" first hitting the streets in 2005, Webbie has continued to capture the raw essence of his lifestyle and culture through its subsequent iterations, including the recent "Savage Life 6" release. Outside of the studio, his singles like "Independent" have become anthems for self-sufficiency and strength. Despite legal issues and controversies, Webbie has maintained a loyal fanbase and continues to influence the genre with tracks that feature heavy hitters like Boosie BadAzz and Bun B, reaffirming his standing within the genre as a connoisseur of trill music.
