Born in Greenville, Barrett left home aged 13 and lived on the streets of Baltimore and later Raleigh He also lived in Pasquotank County, North Carolina.1 He spent six years in prison and on his release moved to New York City, where he met Black Rob and Busta Rhymes, and, according to legend, was signed by the A&R director of Jive Records after hearing him rapping in a club bathroom.1 After a few guest spots, his first solo single was "Raise Up" in 2001, produced by Timbaland, followed by debut album Diary of a Sinner: 1st Entry the same year.1 "Raise Up" was helped by rotation on MTV and heavy play on urban radio, reaching #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping the Hot Rap Singles Chart.2 The release of his second album, Still Writing in My Diary: 2nd Entry, was delayed until 2004.1 Lead single from the album, the sexually-explicit "Freek-a-Leek" was another major success, reaching #7 in the Hot 100, although little chart success followed.2 Petey Pablo later befriended Ty Lawson and was one of UNC's biggest fans on their run to a national title.
