Master P's 'Ghetto Bill' Debuts at No 1

NEW YORK (New No Limit) - "Ghetto Bill (The Best Hustler In The Game) Vol 1," Master P's 11th solo CD came in at No 1 on the Billboard Top Independent Album's Chart in its first week of release. Released on June 21st, the CD features the hot new single "I Need Dubs." "I Need Dubs" is one of the hottest new tracks at urban radio right now with over 466 spins and 4 million in audience. The single is blowing up in the southern markets and is spreading to North and West like wildfire!

The name Ghetto Bill a/k/a the Ghetto "Bill Gates," has been Master P's nickname on the street for some time now and represents the way Percy Miller handles business both in the streets and in the boardroom. Like Bill Gates, Percy Miller is always looking for new directions to move in. With this new CD, Master P gives fans a taste of where The New No Limit is heading in years to come with features from teenage songstress, Ashleey, the first R&B singer signed to the label and collaborations with hot established acts like Slim Thug and G-Unit's Young Buck.

Aside from stellar accomplishments in music, Master P is living out another lifelong dream, playing pro basketball with the Sacramento Kings summer league. The Sacramento Kings today announced the club has invited rap entrepreneur and 6' 4" Guard Master P, along with 17 other players to participate in the 2005 Reebok Vegas Summer League (VSL) at the Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas. The team will play five games in 10 days. This is the first time the Kings will send a team to the Vegas Summer League after participating in the Summer Pro League at Long Beach last year.

Besides the Kings, 13 other NBA teams will field teams in the Vegas Summer League: Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets, Detroit Pistons, Golden State Warriors, New Jersey Nets, New Orleans Hornets, New York Knicks, Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns, Portland Trail Blazers, and the Washington Wizards. Assistant Coach Elston Turner will be responsible for coaching the Kings' summer entry.
And look for the 3rd season of Master P and Lil Romeo's hit show "Romeo!" on Nickelodeon in September.
