The well received album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album in 2003, and Mystikal was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Male Rap Solo Performance that same year. Though it presented Mystikal's typical and funky flow style, which had the distinction of drawing comparison to legendary R&B soul screamers Little Richard and James Brown, the song also saw a blending of jazz and swing elements with hip-hop. Mystikal's most recent solo release was the 2001 album Tarantula, which contained the hit single, "Bouncin' Back (Bumpin' Me Against The Wall)". Mystikal's sister Michelle Tyler was murdered in September 1994. It wasn't long after their beef that Mystikal and Lil Wayne decided to squash it and become collaborators. The songs "Dedicated To Michelle Tyler", "Murder" (both on Mind of Mystikal), "Murder 2", "Shine" (both on Unpredictable) and "Murder III" (on Let's Get Ready) refer to her murder. Mystikal's sister, Michelle Tyler, sang the chorus on "Not That Nigga" and her fate became a major influence on Mystikal's music after her murder in September 1994. He struck back with the disses "Beware" and "Here I Go" which were on his second album, Mind of Mystikal.
They dissed him on tracks like "Drag 'Em in Tha River" by U.N.L.V. In 1995, he found himself involved in conflict with fellow New Orleans rappers signed to rival Cash Money Records, including U.N.L.V., Lil Wayne & B.G. The album was one of Big Boy's most successful and gained major success for Mystikal. Mystikal's debut album, Mystikal, was released on New Orleans-based independent record label Big Boy Records in 1994.
