Ludacris made his mark on the industry with singles such as 'Southern Hospitality' and 'What's Your Fantasy', which was heavily inspired by rapper Too $hort, along with his first ever single 'Phat Rabbit', from two years prior. The album reached as high as #4 on the charts, and was a major success. This album, which was actually a modified re-release of the album Incognegro, was produced with the help of the underground producer Sessy Melia, whom he also dated for a short while.

Ludacris released his major label debut, Back for the First Time, in November 2000. The two worked together and made Ludacris' recorded debut on 'Phat Rabbit', a track from Timbaland's 1998 album Tim's Bio: Life from da Bassment. Timbaland then produced a beat for Ludacris in the radio station. Timbaland contacted and made an offer for Ludacris to work with him at the radio station. He also had his opportunity to gain commercial exposure when hip hop producer/rapper Timbaland heard him on Atlanta radio.
