With PRINCE OF THE SOUTH...THE HITS, rapper Mystikal reaffirms his status as one of hip-hop's most distinctive and popular voices. This best-of collection presents 12 of the most memorable tracks from the New Orleans-based artist's best-selling albums (MIND OF MYSTIKAL, UNPREDICTABLE, GHETTO FABULOUS, and others). For the uninitiated, this is a perfect way to discover Mystikal in all of his seemingly contradictory glory--hyper-aggressive vocals placed on top of tender, funky grooves. Of course, the rapper's most recognizable hits came compliments of producers the Neptunes, whose melodic grooves helped to turn Mystikal into a worldwide sensation with "Shake Ya A**," "Danger (Been So Long)," "Bouncin' Back (Bumpin' Me Against the Wall)," and more. Other standout tracks include the Scott Storch-produced "Tarantula" and KLC's "That's the N***a." For the already converted, two new singles (the up-tempo "P***y Pop" and "Hypno") are included to whet listeners' appetites for the next release.
One of the most successful soldiers in Master P's No Limit Army and the first Dirty South MC to garner genuine mainstream attention, Mystikal scored big with 1997's UNPREDICTABLE and '98s GHETTO FABULOUS. The rapper jumped ship from No Limit in 2000, moving to Jive Records where he topped the Billboard album charts with LET'S GET READY, thanks in part to the infectious, James Brown-inspired single "Shake Ya Ass." Despite the release of another promising album in 2001, various troubles with the law led to a career-crippling stint in prison.
