In 1997, Master P signed the up and coming New Orleans rapper Fiend to his local No Limit Records. Fiend's first single for the label was that year's "Don't Mess Around," a track featured on the I'm 'Bout It soundtrack. Fiend's collaboration on Master P's major hit, "Make Em Say Ugh" set the stage for two successful No Limit solo albums that followed:
1998's There's One In Every Family, which hit #1 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and #8 on the Billboard Top 200, and 1999's Street Life, which also took the top slot on the Top R&B/Rap Albums chart and reached #15 on the Billboard Top 200.
