Who was using that before him?

lil s

Yep

He was the first musician to mention the the concept of “ballin” too and thats no joke

First musican to say he’s a fool about his paper

no i dont think so

probably a reasonably common name for young/child musicians, there are probably some obscure blues musicians with the name "little" back to the 20s or something

1939, but he was already 28 so was probably already using that name for a while

what?

Your little d*** was
