Labeling himself as a "country, ghetto poet," Bohagon (born Cedric Leonard) was singled out by the king of crunk, Lil Jon, as a promising Southern rap artist in the late '90s. While Lil Jon was an A&R for Atlanta's So So Def Records, he tapped into Bohagon to do a track each for two bass compilations: "Uh Uhh" for So So Def Bass All-Stars, Vol. 2 in 1997 and the regional anthem "Drop Dem Boes" for the third volume in 1998. Deciding to move forward with his career, he moved from his small hometown of Talbotton, GA, to Atlanta around the same time these compilations were released, and Lil Jon eventually signed Bohagon to his BME Recordings imprint.
