Moses Barrett III, widely recognized by his stage name Petey Pablo, is a prominent American rapper and record producer hailing from Greenville, North Carolina. One of his most notable achievements includes the success of his crunk hit single ‘Freek-a-Leek’ in 2003, which reached the impressive position of number seven on the prestigious Billboard Hot 100 chart. This track was honored with platinum certification by the esteemed Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Before this, Petey Pablo inked a deal with Jive Records and dropped his single ‘Raise Up’ in 2001, featuring the renowned artist Timbaland. ‘Raise Up’ was a heartfelt ode to his hometown, Greenville, and managed to make its mark by peaking at number 25 on the music charts. Jive Records also facilitated the release of his initial two albums: ‘Diary of a Sinner: 1st Entry’ in 2001, which received a nomination for Best Rap Album at the legendary 45th Annual Grammy Awards, and ‘Still Writing in My Diary: 2nd Entry’ in 2004, the latter achieving a commendable fourth position on the Billboard 200. Despite his early success, Petey Pablo’s subsequent music projects unfortunately did not garner similar commercial success.
