BIOGRAPHY:
Born Richard Jones and raised in the 17th ward of New
Orleans, Fiend lost his brother at a young age; the loss made a
strong mark on the eventual rapper and darkly tainted his world
view. Fiend later embraced rap music and signed to Big Boy
Records, also home to Mystikal at the time. The label released
Fiend's first hit single,"Baddest Muthafucka Alive," and also Won't
Be Denied (1995), which featured another hit, "All I See." These
singles inspired Master P to sign the blossoming rapper to his No
Limit label and debut him on the I'm Bout It soundtrack ("Don't
Mess Around") (1997). That same year Fiend most notably
contributed to Master P's crossover hit "Make Em Say Ugh" as
well as its heavily MTV-rotated video. The rapper remained a
loyal soldier thereafter contributing to numerous other No Limit
releases and preparing his own, There's One in Every Family
(1998). The album sold exceptionally well as did his follow-up
album, Street Life (1999). Regardless, Fiend made preparations
to join a promising new No Limit supergroup, Tank Dawgs, which
also consisted of C-Murder, Mac, and Snoop Dogg. By this point,
Master P's tank began to run out of fuel as a commercial
backlash mounted.
     Fiend wasn't going to stay down for long. Fiend bounced
back on the scene with his own label F.E. Entertainment and has
remained strong as a producer and an independent label
selling hundreds of thousand of copies of his independent
releases and taking home a Grammy in 2009 for production on
Lil Wayne's "The Carter III". Fiend is currently anticipating the
release of his next project "International Jone" (2011). Make sure
to get your hands on it and always remember it's FIEND 4 DA
MONEY BITCH!!!
