Once Fiend made his first national appearance, Master P had him featured on Mia X's "Mama's Family," off Unladylike. Then in earlySeptember of '97, Fiend got his most notable appearance on Master P's triple platinum album, Ghetto D, where Fiend plays a major role on the hit single and video, "Make 'Em Say Uhh." Ever since then, Fiend has contributed a lot to the tank and been featured on every No Limit album release. In early May of '98, Fiend released his debut album off No Limit, There's One In Every Family, which is a conglomeration of twenty-one powerful and hard hitting tracks bringing the world his lyrical talent.
