Mr. Pookie (born Bryan Jones on March 27, 1978) is an American rapper[1] from the "Dirty South" of Dallas, Texas.
Featured on such local underground hits as "Hittin’ Hard" and "Unfuckwitable", Mr. Pookie became a standout in the burgeoning Texas rap music scene.
In late 1999, Mr. Pookie released his own solo album, Tha Rippla,[2] the Dirty South rap classic CD featuring guest appearances by K-Roc, Remontis (later renamed Mr. Montis), C-Pone, Chuck/Juwell, Solo, plus a then unknown 15-year-old rap prodigy named Mr. Lucci (Jeron Gibson).
The Iconic recordings exclusively featured the production of its owner Kevin A., Mr. Pookie & Mr. Lucci were originally affiliated with Iconic Recordings but left to form their own label Crawl 2 Ball a short time later after a bitter, protracted dispute with the label owner over non-payment of royalties.
In 2003, the duo Mr. Pookie & Mr. Lucci independently released both the regular double-disc and the chopped & screwed single-disc versions of My Life (which peaked at #59 on Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Album Charts in April 2004), selling the CDs hand-to-hand, out of the trunks of their cars and hand-delivering them personally to small mom-and-pop record stores in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and beyond, and moving over 40,000 units by themselves and local distribution.
