# Young Bleed Exposes Master P on What Happened at No Limit Office That Night

In a revealing interview on *Boss Talk 101*, rapper Young Bleed, known for his hit *How You Do That There*, opened up about his early interactions with Master P and a significant night at the No Limit Records office in Baton Rouge.

Young Bleed, whose real name is David Whaley, shared insights into his journey from local fame in Baton Rouge to signing with No Limit, shedding light on Master P’s business acumen and the dynamics of the Southern rap scene in the late ’90s.

Young Bleed first caught Master P’s attention with his track *A Fool*, later remixed as *How You Do That There*, which became a breakout hit. During the interview, Bleed recalled their initial meeting, describing Master P as the “Bout It, Bout It P,” referencing the raw, street persona from P’s early work before *Ice Cream Man*. P approached Bleed with respect, acknowledging his talent and expressing a desire to collaborate. “He knew music, man.

He knew business too,” Bleed noted, appreciating P’s understanding of his background with different factions like C-Loc Records. This respect ensured no toes were stepped on as they navigated a deal that bridged C-Loc, No Limit, and Priority Records.

The pivotal moment came one night when Master P personally called Bleed’s manager, Don Paul, to invite him to the No Limit headquarters in Baton Rouge. Bleed had initially assumed the label operated out of New Orleans, where he’d seen P in passing through mutual connections like Loki. “I’d be in the car with L, he’d jump out, talk to him.

I’d see P out the window, feet away, but no intro,” Bleed recounted. That night, however, was different. P welcomed him into the fold, introducing him to everyone under the No Limit umbrella, separate from C-Loc at the time. “Nothing but love,” Bleed said, recalling how he went home to tell his parents about the potential deal with Master P.

During this period, Bleed was working on his debut solo album, *My Balls and My Word*, contributing to No Limit’s compilation to showcase affiliations.

A key memory from that night at the office was P’s hands-on approach to production. Before turning in the record, P called Bleed in to pick three beats, one of which became *Bring the Noise*, produced by Pimp C of UGK. “That’s a hard track,” Bleed emphasized, crediting Pimp C’s production as a standout in his career. This collaboration highlighted the creative synergy at No Limit, even as Bleed balanced loyalties between different camps.

Bleed also touched on nearly signing with Pimp C before his untimely death, hinting at untold stories of loyalty and opportunity in the rap game.

This interview paints Master P as a strategic visionary who recognized talent and built bridges, with that night at the No Limit office marking a turning point in Young Bleed’s career, cementing his place in Southern hip-hop history.
