Thirteen year old Columbus, Ohio native Lil Bow Wow is So So Def's newest recording artist. At age 6, the young star was the opening act on The Chronic Tour, and was tagged "Lil Bow Wow" by none other than Snoop Dogg. His debut single, Bounce With Me, is featured on the Big Momma's House soundtrack, and is currently the #1 Most Added Rap Record at Radio. His debut video, Bounce With Me, is currently the #1 Most Requested at the Box Video Channel in both urban and suburban markets, and is their "Breakin' Out The Box" artist for the month of July. People Magazine, Esquire, Vibe, and XXL are among the major publications rushing out artist features and photo spreads prior to the release of his eagerly-anticipated debut album. Lil Bow Wow is the featured artist on the high-profile Dr. Pepper Bookcover Campaign, which will distribute two million book covers to 5,000 high schools this Fall. Bow Wow's vocal guest appearances include Snoop Dogg's "DoggyStyle," Will Smith's "Wild Wild West," and Jermaine Dupri's "Big Momma's House."

A junior high school honor roll student, Bow Wow will spend his summer performing at radio's largest summer events. Bow Wow is currently in the studio, honing his fast-paced vocal skills (equal to those of most adult rappers), and putting the finishing touches on his debut album. His debut album "Beware of The Dog" will be unleashed in the Fall of 2000. "Beware of The Dog" is executive-produced by Grammy-nominated, Platinum hitmaker Jermaine Dupri.
