Lawrence Lee Thomas, born on January 25, 1969, has been an influential figure in the rap industry since the early 1990s. With several albums released across different labels, including Jive Records, Pooh-Man’s lyrics often focus on topics such as sex, money, and murder. His song “Sex, Money & Murder” even appeared on the soundtrack to the 1992 film Juice.
Thomas has been active in the music industry for decades, with his only charting album, 1992’s Funky as I Wanna Be, peaking at #158 on the Billboard Top 200. Unfortunately, his career was interrupted in 2000 when he pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery and was sentenced to six years in prison.
