Take a stroll down memory lane with us as we revisit the exciting journey of Percy “Master P” Miller, a legendary icon in southern hip hop music. From the gritty streets of the Calliope Projects to the Forbes top ten highest-grossing entertainers list, Master P’s story is a testament to resilience, hard work, and unapologetic ambition. Let’s revisit the casting of “The Ice Cream Man,” a biopic that provides a window into Master P’s life and career, named after his platinum-certified 1996 album. And of course, who can forget his groundbreaking record sales in the 90s, selling over 75 million albums independently? Master P didn’t just make music; he revolutionised an industry.
The Ice Cream Man Biopic
Written by Percy Miller, Pardé Bridget, and Wayne Conley, “The Ice Cream Man” is a biographical film that celebrates Master P’s incredible journey. The production company, CP3 Filmworks, was in the process of casting actors to portray a younger Percy Miller.
Master P’s Unprecedented Success
Master P’s success in the ’90s was unlike anything the music industry had seen before. He independently sold over 75 million albums through his self-built, multi-million dollar empire. His business acumen earned him praise from industry peers like Ice Cube and record executive Tony Draper.
The Trilogy
The Master P story doesn’t end with “The Ice Cream Man.” It’s just the first part of a trilogy that further explores his life and career. Here’s what to expect from the trilogy:
“The Ice Cream Man”
This is the introduction to the three-part biography of Master P. It’s the start of an urban trilogy that rivals the likes of The Godfather.
“TRU”

“No Limit the Empire”
The final film of the trilogy tells the story of Master P and his artists during a time when they dominated a large share of the music industry. It highlights the success of No Limit Records, which was one of the most powerful and successful record companies in the industry.
