Mystikal (b.Michael Tyler, 1971, New Orleans, USA) had a spell in the US army, which included service in the Gulf conflict. Though he would become better known for his association with Master P and his No Limit Records label, Tyler released his debut as Mystikal on the independent Big Boy label in 1995. The record brought him to the attention of Jive Records, who signed the rapper for Mind Of Mystikal, an updated version of his debut. An energetic reworking of Dr. Dre's G-funk blueprint, the album became a surprising underground hit and indirectly led to Mystikal's association with Master P. His No Limit debut Unpredictable featured the usual role call of label mates, and built on the success of Master P's chart-topping Ghetto D when it debuted at number 3 in November 1997. The follow-up Ghetto Fabulous was another commercial success, debuting at US number 5 in January 1999. By now, however, even Mystikal's high-energy approach had become bogged down by the low budget/no frills approach to recording that blighted most No Limit product. His bold decision to leave No Limit was rewarded when Let's Get Ready debuted at number 1 on the US album chart, buoyed by the radio success of the single "Shake Ya Ass". Hitting the street harder than a Big Truck Driver with the pedal on full mash, Jive Records recording artist Mystikal returns from the Crescent City to sink his fangs into the rap world and spit venomous lyrics with his new CD, entitled Tarantula. Known for being one of the most respected and lyrically adept rap stars on the planet, Mystikal a.k.a. The Man Right Chere keeps you moving in the new millenium with a unique flow and clever delivery that is unforgettable. Please believe he is set to catch you in his web of original flamboyant flava’ that is simply ghetto fabulous!
