Now that Bow Wow's growing up, he's dropped the "Lil" to prove that he can role the big dogs.

Bow Wow Says...
"I got my business, and I got my school. I separate the two, so if I know I gotta go out of town one day, then I know I just gotta get all my (school) work and then do it and turn it in early before I go catch that flight."
