[2] He is best known for his Top 40[2] single "Da' Dip" released in 1996[1] which was a sleeper hit,[1] and ultimately went mainstream in the summer of 1997;[1] it later peaked number 15[5] on the Hot 100.
Later he released "Do What U Feel"[5] from the album Which Way Is Up,[5] but it failed to reach the success of the previous song, making it to 87 on the Hot R&B charts.
He then found success in Atlanta, Georgia with his first album Freak Nasty, selling close to 300,000 units.
[citation needed] His next album Controversee... That's Life... And That's the Way It Is, was a much bigger hit and sold over 5 million units,[citation needed] mainly due to his smash hit single "Da' Dip", which peaked at number 15[5] on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 2007, the single "Do It Just Like a Rockstar" peaked at number 45[5] on the Billboard Hot 100, due to mistaken ID3 tags; the iTunes Store erroneously titled the song "Party Like a Rockstar", which led to consumers confusing it with the Shop Boyz single of the same name.
