A member of
the YoungBloodZ, Atlanta rapper
Sean Paul (aka
Sean P) appeared on series of hit R&B and hip-hop singles before introducing his solo career properly with the single "Everywhere We Go."
Paul formed
the YoungBloodZ with his good friend
J-Bo while the two were attending Miller Grove Middle School in Decatur. Between 1999-2005 the group kept a slow pace, releasing only three albums on the LaFace label and freeing up
Paul for numerous guest shots, including Cherish's "Do It to It,"
Lil Jon's "Snap Yo Fingers," and
Sammie's "You Should Be My Girl." "Everywhere We Go" appeared in 2007 along with the mixtape
Hood Anthems. Early the next year it was announced he was going to be using the name
Sean P to avoid confusion with dancehall singer
Sean Paul. The name was to be rolled out on
Sean P's official solo debut album planned for release in 2008.
