6. Diddy
In 1993, when Sean Combs was known as Puff Daddy he launched Bad Boy Records. The company produced and released Notorious B.I.G‘s debut album Ready To Die which was a huge hit. Diddy went on to sign and produce albums for artists like Mase, Usher, and TLC’s CrazySexyCool.
In 1997, as Puffy Daddy, Combs released his debut solo album, No Way Out, with the lead single “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down”. The second single “I’ll Be Missing You” which was dedicated to The Notorious B.I.G after his recent death, was the first rap song to ever debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The album also won the Grammy for Best Rap Album that year. He’s now reported to be working on his seventh studio album entitled, No Way Out 2.
