UrbanBridgez.com spoke to Mia X in 2009 and asked her then, what were some of her fondest memories from the No Limit days?
“Like every memory is really like a fond memory but the days when we were struggling. When I met P, he hadn’t lived in New Orleans for quit sometime. I dropped a record in 92′ and got a lot of regional success from that record independently. It sold almost 80,000 units. This was a record on cassette tape, that I really worked and grinded. I mean I really had to put some leg work in. So when P was putting together the label to take it to the next level, he wanted a female artist. So he started calling home and everybody was telling him about me. So he came at me and was like I’m putting together this label, it’s going to be like the first independent/major label ever and I really want you on my team.
I could see the sincerity in his eyes, about what he was going to do with the label. So I jumped on board and from there I was like if we’re going to make this pop, you have to let me put together this squad. We need a squad from home, you know. So I started to ensemble the squad and from there we became a family. We really grinded together, all of us. Sometimes only having enough money to get a hotel suite and piling up in it. Making meals for like 27 men with hardly no food, red beans go a long way (laughs). Also something people don’t realize about the guys from No Limit is they are real comedians. So they kept me laughing and I kept them fed, we were a strong family unit.
That’s why after I left and a couple of other artists left, it was hard for us to like rejoin the ranks of another unit. What we had was a real, real family situation. No disrespect to anyone, but I couldn’t see myself riding around with another labels chain logo around my neck. What we had at No Limit was real and solid, if I ever was to do it again, I’m going to have to do it myself. Because those were my brothers and they are my brothers forever! We had some really, really, really good memories. The thing is some of them are so funny and off the chain, it’s kind of hard to get into them (laughs). But every time I think about all of the brothers and every time I talk to them, we laugh about different things. I just want everybody to know, everybody at No Limit had a sense of humor. We are a real family and still love each other to this day. We’re each others God parents to the children, you know. It really was a strong unit, it was a small unit. You could call No Limit and I would answer “No Limit Records” (laughs).
