The next studio record resumed its normal course, though, and joint efforts resulted in album « Wanted» (2005) featuring Snoop Dogg and J-Kwon. Whether it was the reason, or the fact that Dupri wasn’t around, but third album « Unleashed» (2003) was rather modest, peaking at #3 in the American chart, but failing to sale million copies. Around the same time, Shad started getting leading roles in movies, so he spent some of his time not in the recording studio, but at the movie sets.

He said that he got older and there were «too many lil’s». A year after the release of the second album, Bow Wow dropped the Lil’-prefix he had before. Second album « Doggy Bag» was released in 2001, also got platinum status – this time just once and only in the USA– and had two singles: « Take Ya Home» and « Thank You». « Beware of Dog» had four singles: « Bounce with Me» (written for movie « Big Momma’s House»), « Bow Wow ( That's My Name)», « Puppy Love» and « Ghetto Girls». Still, the fact remains: Shad was only 13 when he released his first album « Beware of Dog» (2000) which quickly became platinum in the USA and Canada and finished its bedut at #8 in charts. Such things leave their mark, and meeting of a young performer with famous producer Jermaine Dupri was a matter of time rather than a coincidence. They may be even right – not every young star manages to get noticed by Snoop Dogg himself at the age of 6. Many people would say that American actor and rapper Bow Wow ( Shad Gregory Moss) is a lucky one.
