Bio From AllMusic.Com
Philadelphian rapper Beanie Sigel had a rapidly rising career, beginning with his appearance on one of underground rapper/producer DJ Clue?'s mixtapes, to his cameos on Jay-Z's Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life, to a consequent solo deal with Roc-a-Fella Records. His distinctive, slightly drawling delivery and his clever but hard-hitting rhymes were showcased on his debut album, 2000's The Truth, which featured contributions from Jay-Z, Memphis Bleek, Eve, and Scarface, and production by the Ruff Ryders' Swizz Beatz and Suave House's Tony Draper. His second album, The Reason, hit the streets in summer 2001, led by the single "Beanie (Mack Bitch)." Sigel soon launched his State Property line of clothing by announcing his gear would have hidden pockets and gun holsters. Legal problems plagued the rapper in 2003 when he was arrested on federal weapon and drug charges stemming from a police chase where Sigel allegedly tossed a loaded handgun. He was arrested again in September the same year on attempted murder charges for allegedly shooting a man in the stomach. The attempted murder trial was thrown out of court once already by the beginning of 2005, but was set to be retried while Sigel was pleading guilty to the federal weapon charges. Preparing for jail, Sigel went into high gear and completed a movie, an album, and five videos to support the new album. The album, The B. Coming, hit the shelves in March of 2005 while the movie, State Property 2, was released in April. Out of prison by the end of the year, Sigel went to work on his fourth album, The Solution; though there seemed to be fluctuations in Sigel's stance in the split between Jay-Z and Damon Dash, the rapper remained with Jay-Z, on Roc-a-Fella, and The Solution was issued in December 2007. - Heather Phares

State Property's Bio From AllMusic.Com
After establishing himself as a recording artist with Jay-Z and his Roc-a-Fella empire, Philadelphia rapper Beanie Sigel set out to start his own network with the group State Property. The world got it's first taste of the group on the soundtrack to the 2001 film State Property that starred Sigel and Roc-a-Fella associates Jay-Z, Damon Dash, and Memphis Bleek. At the time of the film's release, State Property included the relatively unknown MCs Rell, Freeway, Oschino, Omillio Sparks, and Young Gunz Neef and Chris Ries. The soundtrack included a breakout hit in the Sigel/Freeway collaboration "Roc the Mic" and resulted in a solo record for Freeway. After taking time to work on other projects, State Property reconvened in 2003, adding hot mic talent Peedi Crakk to the lineup for their second effort, State Property Presents the Chain Gang, Vol. 2. - Wade Kergan
