     Big Boy Records, Inc. also (known as the Boot Camp Clicc), is a independent record label established in late 1992 by Partners: Charles "Big Boy" Temple, producer Leroy "Precise" Edwards.  and Rod Shaw, For several years in the 1990s Big Boy Records ruled the bounce and hip hop music industry in New Orleans.

     Big Boy's first signee was pioneering New Orleans rapper Sporty T (Terence Vine). He had previously been a founding member of The Ninja Crew, New Orleans' first rap group to record. In the early 1990s, inspired by hits by Juvenile, at the time produced by Precise,  he moved in that direction as well. The label's first single was "Sporty Talkin' Sporty." Though bounce, it had an uncharacteristically heavy sound for the genre. After it sold 4,000 copies, Big Boy sought out more talent. In That same year Big Boy Signed Partners-N-Crime, a rapping duo from Hollygrove, New Orleans. When they dropped their single "Let the Good Times Roll" in 1994 it became an instant hit.[2] Months later their debut album PNC 3 hit the stores. Later on in that year G-Slimm's Fours Deuces & Trays sold 200,000 copies. However, the label's first huge success came from a recently returned Gulf War veteran, Mystikal (Michael Lawrence Tyler). The 12th Ward native had originally been with Parkway Pumpin as Mystikal Mike. Then he was poached by Big Boy, who released "I'm Not That Nigga" and a self-titled debut which sold 300,000 copies............
