His show covered his career from those humble beginnings and raw tracks, right up to the more mainstream newer music he’s produced. Southern rapper who gained fame in the 2000s for the singles Freek-a-Leek and Raise Up. He’s had the chance to work with some awesome producers and industry names, and my favourite of his albums, the debut Raise Up, was produced by Timbaland. What are the chances! Let’s just hope he stays in line with the law so he can keep performing! After following his career, press coverage, and music, hearing him perform live was fantastic, he’s a true entertainer as well as a very talented man. His entire story is incredible, seeing as his record label producer initially discovered his talent when he was heard rapping in a nightclub bathroom. Pablo had a troubled beginning, being held in prison for five years for armed robbery, and has been in and out of custody since. So, even if many will be disappointed to find that nothing else on Diary of a Sinner comes close to "Raise Up," it's still one of the better Dirty South albums of the early 2000s, and surely one of the more sincere efforts.Hailing for California, Petey Pablo is one of my favourite hip hop rappers of this generation. And it doesn't hurt that he handles all the rhymes on his album. Plus, though he's not afraid to boast, he never raps about money, cars, women, drugs, or anything remotely associated with "ballin'." It's this emphasis on the inner self rather than materialism that makes Pablo so refreshing. Pablo shows that he's something of a Southern DMX - a gruff, thuggish man among boys who is thoughtful and lyrical as well as spiritual and moral. The remainder of the album isn't nearly as riveting as "Raise Up," but it's still worth listening to. In addition to the trademark shuffling, bass-heavy rhythm and the catchy, singalong hook, Timbaland throws in some swirling guitar and violin sounds for a frenzied feeling that makes "Raise Up" one of the rowdiest Dirty South anthems of the decade. Sure, "I" and "I Told Y'All" are album highlights, but it's "Raise Up" that once again showcases precisely why Timbaland is the best of the best.


First of all, and most obviously, there's the gigantic lead single, "Raise Up." Jive went out of its way to hook up Pablo with Timbaland for a few songs, and the results are surely worth the hefty tab. But, as disheartening as the industry politics may be, particularly to all the myriad other Dirty South rappers with no chance at similar success, you can't slight Pablo - he proves himself worthy of big-league success on his debut album, Diary of a Sinner.

And, like what happened with Ludacris and Nelly - and many others - Jive proved that they could manufacture a multi-platinum rap superstar overnight with its industry clout. Like Ludacris and Nelly, Pablo had a major label (Jive) with enough clout to guarantee national exposure and a lead single with a great video ("Raise Up") to drive album sales. In 2001, Snow Hill, NC native Petey Pablo released his single called 'Raise Up' on Jive Records, a different type of Southern Hip-Hop anthem that put North Carolina on the forefront. Just as they'd done a decade earlier with West Coast gangsta rap, the major labels funneled millions of dollars into the early-2000s Dirty South boom, catapulting previously unknown artists like Petey Pablo to overnight-superstar status. One of the more versatile rappers who came out of the Dirty South school of hip-hop in the early 2000s, multi-gold and Grammy-nominated North.
