'''Darryl Richardson''', better known as '''Lil Scrappy''', is a [[rapper]] who was discovered by mega-producer and performer (as well as the self-proclaimed "King of Crunk") [[Lil Jon]] while performing at a school concert in his hometown of [[Atlanta]]. Along with labelmates [[Trillville]], Lil Scrappy was one of the first signings to [[Lil Jon]]'s [[BME Recordings]].

Lil Scrappy built a strong reputation and eager following throughout the southeast thru mixtapes and the street anthem of 2003 "Head Bussa." During this time, [[Lil Jon]] inked a deal to bring his [[BME Recordings]] to [[Warner Bros. Records]] as a joint venture partnership. With immense street credibility, a major label push, and [[Lil Jon]]'s signature production, "Head Bussa" made a strong statement within the radio community, reaching #73 on the Billboard r&b and hip hop chart.

Lil Scrappy released a dual EP with labelmates [[Trillville]] entitled ''The King of Crunk & BME Recordings Present: Lil Scrappy and [[Trillville]]'' in February 2004. The album featured production by [[Lil Jon]]. Lil Scrappy and [[Trillville]] had ten tracks each appear on this album.
