One of his most recent releases was the 2001 album Tarantula, which contained the single, "Bouncin' Back (Bumpin' Me Against The Wall)". It debuted at Number One on the Billboard 200, making it his only chart-topper to date. The album sold well, and garnered him critical praise, though his real breakthrough was Let's Get Ready released in 2000, led by The Neptunes-produced hit "Shake Ya Ass," and the only slightly-less-successful single "Danger (Been So Long)," which featured rising pop star Nivea. The album sold well, and he signed to Master P's No Limit Records for Unpredictable in 1997. He signed to Jive Records to release Mind of Mystikal in 1996. His debut album was Mystikal, released on the indie label Big Boy Records in 1995.
