New Orleans rapper Mystikal called into a New Orleans radio station to reconnect with fans just hours after being released from prison. Mystikal served 6 years for sexual battery and extortion. In 2004, Mystikal was convicted on charges after a videotape of the crime was found at his home. The media didn't pay much attention to the rapper's troubles as R. Kelly's sex scandal and videotape were major news stories around the same time.
The 39 year-old rapper, whose real name is Micheal Tyler, is best known for his 2000 hit "Shake Ya Ass." The single and its follow-up "Danger (Been So Long)," the breakthrough debut for singer Nivea, propelled Mystikal's 2000 album "Lets Get Ready" to hit #1 on the Billboard 2000 and sell over 2 million copies in the United States. He followed up with the gold album "Tarantual" in 2002, his last album to date. Mystikal also boasts two albums released by No Limit Records during their commercial peak which landed @#5 and #3 on the Billboard 200.
Mystikal promoted positivity during his first post-prison interview and also talked of his stint behind bars as "tough" stating that he "took it in stride."
