Eager to follow up
Wanted’s double-platinum success, Bow Wow released his fifth album
The Price of Fame in 2006.
The Price of Fame featured a lengthy list of big name collaborators, including
Lil’ Scrappy and
T-Pain - proof of the staying power Bow Wow’s new image had.
The Price of Fame peaked at #6 on the
Billboard 200, selling over a million copies based on the buzz generated by tracks like
"I’m a Flirt" and
"Outta My System". Bow Wow’s most recent album is
Face Off, a 2007 collaborative album with R&B singer
Omarion that has produced singles
"Girlfriend" and
"Hey Baby (Jump Off)".
Bow Wow plans to release a seventh studio album sometime in 2008; it is to be titled
H.I.M. (History In Making). There is some speculation that it might be Bow Wow’s last album for some time; Bow Wow has mentioned that he may put his recording career on hold to pursue an acting career, citing
Will Smith as inspiration. Bow Wow has already starred in a number of films including
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) and
Roll Bounce (2005), and is currently slated to appear alongside
Forest Whitaker and
Lil’ Wayne in an upcoming 2009 sports drama titled
Patriots.
