The album saw success with the single “Right Thurr” and also featured guest appearances by Ludacris & Snoop Dogg. He left the label after a royalty disputer and joined the Capital label. His following album “Powerballin’” was released in 2004 and also reached platinum status. A new album “Hoodstar” is scheduled for release in September and will feature guest appearances by Three 6 Mafia and Janet Jackson.
