The Chopper City Boyz was a New Orleans–based rap group founded by rapper B.G. and signed to his Chopper City Records label. The group was formed in 2003 consisting of B.G.'s younger brother Hakizzle, Gar and Snipe, then VL Mike became an addition to the group in early 2004. The group had been featured on B.G.'s solo albums as well as several mixtapes between 2003 and 2006. The group released their debut album with B.G. titled We Got This in 2007,[1] spawning the single "Make 'Em Mad", which was produced by David Banner. The group did exceptionally well for being on an independent record label, Koch Records, selling 36,000 in their first week on the chart.[2]
VL Mike was fatally shot in New Orleans on April 20, 2008.[3]
