Dem Franchize Boyz - Biography
Dem Franchize Boyz was a Southern Rap group from Atlanta signed to E1 Music. The group had four members: Parlae (born Maurice Gleaton), Pimpin' (Jamal Willingham), Jizzal Man (Bernard Leverette), and Buddie (Gerald Tiller).
The group signed to Universal Records in 2004 after performing unsigned. Universal released the group's self-titled debut album in September of that year with hit single "White Tee", which BET featured for some time. In 2005, record producer Jermaine Dupri signed Dem Franchize Boyz to his label So So Def after transferring it from Arista Records to Virgin Records.
Parlae (Maurice Gleaton) was arrested on June 13, 2006 after police raided a studio and found drugs, weapons, and money. All charges were later dropped. He was also arrested as the prime suspect in the murder of Kenneth Kemp that same year. The case was dismissed on a technicality. Another member, Pimpin' (Jamal Willingham), was also arrested for a DUI in October of 2007.
Gerald "Buddie" Tiller passed away from cancer on August 25, 2019.
