‘Wayne was a student in my dojo before,’ Mystikal tells Mixtape Daily. By Rob Markman, with reporting by James “FLX” Smith Lil Wayne Photo: Frank Micelotta/ Getty Images Celebrity Favorites: Mystikal Since Mystikal’s been gone , a lot has changed on hip-hop’s playing field. In 2004, when Mystikal was locked up on sexual battery and extortion charges, Jay-Z was fresh off his “retirement,” Kanye West was just beginning his rookie year in rap and Lil Wayne was getting set to drop the first album in his now-famed Tha Carter series. Now, Kanye and Jay are the Throne and both enjoy veteran rap status, and Lil Wayne is sitting on top of the world. Mystikal recalls his fellow New Orleans rapper’s come-up and can’t help but feel a bit responsible for the growth. “Wayne was a student in my dojo before. I was a sensei before. I had big inspiration on him,” Mystikal said of the younger Weezy. “It’s gratifying to see him reach the heights that he reached with his hustle. So I’m proud of him.” Mystikal, who turned 41 last week, has a catalog of rap classics. Songs like “Shake Ya Ass” and “Danger” helped shine hip-hop’s light on his native New Orleans and the artists who hail from the Louisiana city. Still, the Tarantula isn’t content with his past hits. He has recently been in the studio with producer Mannie Fresh, cooking up a new batch of material. So how will this new Mystikal fit into hip-hop’s current landscape? “Just another option, just give them another option,” Mystikal told Mixtape Daily of what he hopes to offer to rap fans. “All the marquee artists are who they are; I don’t have to say no names. [The fans] just ready for more options, they ready for some other big cards to play. Trust me!” For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines .

Former No Limit MC says, ‘My star is still out there in the stratosphere.’ By Rob Markman, with reporting by James “FLX” Smith Mystikal Photo: Rick Diamond/ Getty Images Mystikal has more to celebrate these days. Not only is the New Orleans rapper expecting the birth of a baby boy, the Tarantula has new music on the way and just turned 41 years old. It hasn’t always been smooth sailing for Mystikal, who was released from prison in January 2010 after a six-year incarceration stemming from charges of sexual battery, extortion and failing to file tax returns. But Thursday, Mystikal was all smiles as he performed at his own birthday bash at the Sha-La club in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. “I’m in the process of rebranding everything,” he told MTV News. “My star is still out there in the stratosphere; I just gotta get the spiderwebs off of it and shine it back up. That’s it — simple as that.” Part of that process is getting back in the studio. Though he hasn’t released an album since 2001, last year Mystikal hooked up with former Cash Money producer Mannie Fresh , and the two have been slowly cooking up new material. “We been working. Last couple of weeks, we been coming with some monsters in that studio,” Mystikal said before describing his plan for 2011: “I still gotta give them that vintage me, because that’s what I am, but I found a way to kinda bring it up to speed and still be contemporary.” Not that Mystikal is ignoring his legacy in the slightest. The former No Limit star performed a string of hits Thursday. “That wasn’t really a whole bunch of new material, that was vintage Mystikal,” he said. “It just reminds them of a moment in time when things were alright. Everybody remember that moment when “Here I Go” or “Shake it Fast” or “Make ‘Em Say Uhh” — they remember that.” Are you excited to hear new music from Mystikal? Tell us in the comments!

Mystikal, Mannie Fresh Working On ‘Monsters’
Ex-Cash Money producer tells MTV News the NOLA natives ‘want to bring it back to where it started from.’ By Jayson Rodriguez Mystikal and Mannie Fresh Photo: MTV News When Mystikal began working on his comeback album last year, the New Orleans rapper recruited his fellow hometown lyricist Lil Wayne. Along the way, the former No Limit star also joined forces with Cash Money expatriate Mannie Fresh. And according to Fresh, he’s hoping to inject some Bayou flavor into Mystikal’s project. “We finishing up his album and the thing of it is, I just want it to be a traditional New Orleans album,” the producer told MTV News. “I just want to reach back and get New Orleans artists, the way we used to put it down. There’s no disrespect to no other artist, but I don’t feel like we have to go outside the circle. We got so much talent in our city. I would like to get some of that Neville [family] stuff on there and [Trombone Shorty]. But that’s what it is. I want to bring it back to where it started from.” The project currently has no release date or major-label home, but fans should expect the collection to feature Mystikal’s dance-floor flare as well as a more reflective side as well. Last year at this time, the rapper was being released from prison after serving six years on a sexual battery and extortion charge. “Finally. Six years, that ain’t no walk in the park,” Mystikal told us a few months after his release. “I had a lot of time to do a lot of growing, reflecting and thinking and stuff like that.” Are you looking forward to new music from Mystikal?
