Career

Huey began producing hip hop beats at the age of 15. Franks was referred to producer Angela Richardson, who was establishing a rap band, by his older brother. Franks first appeared on Huey, and his albums "Oh" and "Pop, Lock & Drop It" became local hits among DJs and promoters. Huey was featured on a series of mixtapes, one of which, Unsigned Hype, sold out of its run of 8,000 copies, and producer TJ Chapman, who introduced the rapper to Vice President of Jive Records, Mickey "MeMpHiTz" Wright, noticed it in 2006.

Notebook Paper, Huey's debut album for the brand, was released in mid-2007 and AllMusic described it as a mash-up of Nelly, Chingy, and Ludacris. The album debuted at number 26 on the Billboard 200 chart and at number ten on the Top R&B/Hip Albums chart. Its lead single, "Pop, Lock & Drop It," debuted at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his biggest hit to date. Nelly's refusal to work with Huey on his debut album resulted in two diss tracks "Down, Down, Baby" starring Tha Camp Boyz and "Back at Cha." "When I Hustle" featured singer Lloyd was Notebook Paper's next single. Huey appeared on R Kelly's album Double Up in 2007 and was featured on the song "Pick it Up."

After many delays, Huey's second album, Redemption, was released on September 14, 2010. "Smile and Wave," Dorrough's first official single from the album, was unveiled on June 15, 2010. Huey criticizes his opponents in "Smile and Wave."

Huey revealed in 2013 that he had officially signed with Waka Flocka Flame's Brick Squad Monopoly and was working on his third album. Huey's mixtape Project H debuted on May 14, 2014, but not much has transpired from his move to Brick Squad and Huey, and the music scene has been relatively quiet in recent years. Huey had just started a business in luxurious clothing before his death, according to music executive William "Quayshaun" Carter, who worked with Huey in the 2010s, "and it was successful and he was content."
