Lil Runt

Who is Lil Runt? Born in Lafayette, La. and raised during a period when there were rappers such as Mystical, Juvenile, Master P and a cast of other hot rappers from the south, Joshiua Dixon, known to the music world as...Lil Runt... soon became a household name. Runt, who was always smaller than the rest, held a powerful voice. This kept people from underestimating his size, and his skills. In 1995, Runt put out his first solo album entitled The Chosen One. The album sold over 80,000 copies. His impressive sales landed him a deal with PolyGram records. Runt later scored a regional hit titled, What U see is what U Get... This track received a lot of radio play, and reviews from both local and regional publications. Runt performed with artists such as, Master P, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Ice Cube, Jermaine Dupri, and Outkast to name a few. Runt later recorded another regional hit...Just the Three of Us.., a song for the soundtrack to the movie Trois. When asked what his strong points are, this is what he said, well, my strong points are simple. I am an all around entertainer. I write a variety of music, from rap to gospel. I play four instruments, and produce as well. I write movies as well as act. I am well informed. Handling management to negotiating contracts, I do it all. That is what makes me strong both as an artist and a man... Runt soon parted ways with PolyGram Records, and started his own label, State to State Records. He later garnered the hit...Mamma Don’t Cry... in 2000. Runt wants to make his mark on a global level by starting the label, F.E.L.O.N. (Freedom Every Living Organism Needs) Entertainment. This is his way of taking a negative word, and making it positive. Runt will soon release a movie he penned himself.
