1. Bryan "Baby" Williams. (born February 15, 1969) better known by his stage name Birdman, is an American record executive and rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana.
In 1991, Williams and his older brother Ronald "Slim" Williams founded the hip-hop label Cash Money Records. Earlier in his career, he used his first moniker B-32 (Baby With The 32 Golds) and released his only independent album I Need a Bag of Dope in 1993. Years later, under the moniker "Baby", Williams recorded a number of albums with producer Mannie Fresh as the Big Tymers and performed as one of his own label's solo acts. Williams' most recent record, 5 * Stunna, was released on December 11, 2007.
2. Baby was a southern rock band from Texas. The band was signed to Lone Starr Records in the mid 1970s. They got the attention of the executives at Mercury Records based on their regional album sales in Texas. The album was remixed and re-released in mid 1975 on Mercury. Baby had a legion of fans in the Midwest and South in 1975-76 and headlined venues like the famed Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa while generating regional radio airplay on the band’s first single, “(It’s Another) Saturday Night”.
The band made just two albums; the self-titled album, 'Baby' and the follow-up album called 'Where Did All The Money Go?'' released on Chelsea Records in 1976. The second album’s title, summed up the feelings for the band that seemed poised for success similar to what other southern rock artists like Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Marshall Tucker Band were having in the mid-70s, but the success never came for them.
After low sales of Where Did All The Money Go? and a lawsuit with John Waite and The Babys over the rights of the name “Baby(s)”, the band quit.
Guitarist, songwriter and vocalist Johnny Lee Schell went on to play on the Grammy winning album Nick Of Time from Bonnie Raitt in 1989. He has played with some of the world’s biggest names and continues to produce, write and contribute to many blues-based artists as well as his own solo projects. Recently, Schell’s guitar work was with Barbara Blue and her latest blues album, Memphis 3rd And Beale.

3. Baby, A band rock brought up on emotive lyrics and melancholy rock riffs gave breath to a soothing throb. Baby bringing literary element to songwriting and shoulder dropping breaks between guitar and drum birthing hopes to remind us all what its like to feel again. There seems to be no end to Baby, though i see nothing child like anywhere. Nick Dillion being the singer/songwritter and main guitarist there is without a doubt a full life of auralsex to come.

If you from where I'm from, ya know what I'm talkin' 'bout

And I feel couldn't nobody do it the way I'ma do it
Ya know what I'm sayin' so, here we go world

Get your shine on, get your shine on
Get your shine on, so nigga stop hatin'
Get your shine on, get your shine on
Get your shine on, you know we gonna make it
In one you trust, the neighborhood is us
And everything that I ride is 22s and up
And everytime that I slide, you know I'm platinum plus
Make the hood understand that we tryin' to come up
24s on trucks, just the neighborhood lust
Tell Lil' One, be cool everybody comin' up
'Cause everybody wanna ride, everybody wanna shine
So how ya love that people? Everybody on the grind
And these projects cuts ya hood rich livin' lavish
Those 14s, you know we had to have it
Once upon a time it was nothin' but madness
Hustlin' right in front of my mama, Ms. Gladys
Chasin' paper, paper chasin', look that's all we know
Comin' through the neighborhood on them 24s
Bet a thousand, shoot a thousand, nigga up it some more

E, F, baby, for the team I rep daily
I come to the defense like Champ Bailey, I'm gone wit it
A chrome kitted, a foam pit in the back of it
Phony tittie bitches come home with me, get the business

So shut that ice in 'cause he ain't iced out
Pay attention closely, you niggaz can never roast me
'Cause the maker of the testerosta knows me
Oh, he's so arrogant, the cocky kind
But you always looking 'cause I'ma shine, that's right

Come through the neck of the woods, you'll be alright
'Cause I'm pimpin', I'm pimpin', pimpin', I'm comin' through

You can ask a nigga 'bout me, you know I'm 'bout my shit

'Cause I'm 'The Birdman' and I'll do you something bad
Have you heard man that I been slangin' them slacks
That's my word man, I won't stunt nigga
