n the early 1990s Miller became one of the first and most popular rap artists to emerge from New Orleans, and went on to added success as a producer for other artists, and a record company entrepreneur. New Orleans’ current stature as a hotbed of rap, hip-hop and bounce music can be traced, in large part, to Miller’s pioneering work.
