Later, his mother, who is also a hair stylist, married Rodney Caldwell, a practising lawyer from Houston. Despite the fact that his biological father abandoned him and he never met him, he grew up with him.

Alfonso Preston Moss (Father) and Teresa Rena Caldwell were the parents of the famous rapper (Mother). Shad Gregory Moss, a Pisces, was born on March 9th, 1987, in Columbus, Ohio, United States. Bow Wow made his Hollywood debut in 2002 with a cameo in All About the Benjamins and an outstanding performance in the lead part in Like Mike. With his extraordinary rapping skills, which he possessed since the age of three, he attracted a large fan base of all ages. His debut album was a great hit, and his following hit, Doggy Bag, was released in 2001. He published his first album, Beware of Dogs, at the age of 13 in the early months of the new century. Shad Gregory Moss is his real name, but he is better known by his stage name Bow Wow, formerly known as Lil’ Bow Wow. And the TCP song is a fast-paced bass song that concludes the soundtrack perfectly, embodying the heart-racing nature of basketball.Bow Wow is a rapper, TV host, actor, and broadcaster from the United States. The previously released Nas song, which interpolates Tears for Fears' 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World,' falls a bit short of being another 'If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)' for the New York rapper, but it's still quite moving. But the real surprise comes late in the album with Nas' 'Rule' and TCP's 'Hoop It Up,' both much more adult than the preceding songs. Elsewhere on Like Mike, Dupri includes so-so songs by TQ, Mario, and Solange, three artists likely to appeal to the same listeners who like Bow Wow. A little bit later in the album come the two standout Bow Wow songs, though: the Neptunes-produced 'Take Ya Home' and Just Blaze-produced 'Playin' the Game.' Both songs feature top-notch production and incredibly catchy hooks, so much so that the former became one of Bow Wow's biggest hits yet. Here Bow Wow, Fabolous, and Dupri drop a verse each about their passion for the game, while Fundisha sings the hook. The 15-year-old rapper stars in the film so it's expected that his contributions will be significant, and indeed they are, beginning with 'Basketball,' the album's opening song. So So Def boss Jermaine Dupri rounds up a number of playful pop-rap songs for the Like Mike soundtrack, unsurprisingly including a number of Lil' Bow Wow performances.
