Even while on lockdown at Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna, Louisiana, one of the youngest members of the No Limit dynasty continues to make his presence felt in the music industry.
His newest CD, Truest S**t I Ever Said, is his sixth and, according to him, his best album to date. "I recorded it while I was here so it's very up to date," he said. "It's about the trials and tribulations of what's been going on with me for the past three years. Everybody that listens to it says this is the best album that I've done yet, ya heard me? So that's good."

The label's first artist Kilo-G released The Sleepwalker in 1992. Over the next 4 years Cash Money played host to a number of local releases by artists such as Pimp Daddy, U.N.L.V., Ms. Tee, Mr. Ivan, Lil' Slim, B.G., among others, selling hundreds of thousands of albums without ever releasing a music video or having a Billboard hit. Cash Money's big break came in 1997 when the label's most popular artists, the Hot Boys, B.G. and Juvenile in particular, caught the attention of Universal Records executives. Juvenile's Cash Money release Solja Rags sold 200,000 copies independently. In 1998, co-CEOs Ronald "Slim" Williams and Brian "Baby" Williams signed a US$30 million pressing and distribution contract with Universal Records, entitling the label to 85% of its royalties, 50% of its publishing revenues and ownership of all masters.

Raised in Second Line parades, crawfish boils, Jazz bars and casinos, Impulss absorbed the whole world at the same time until the day he came across the tune, “Funky Beat” by Whodini. From that moment on Hip-Hop would be the leading lady in the life of the young MC destined for greatness.
