Background

Her solo debut in 2001, Soul Sista, was released on November 13, 2001 by MCA Records. The album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for a shipments of 500,000 copies in the United States.[3] In 2002, her rendition of "Nothing in This World" led to a nomination for Best New R&B/Soul/Rap Artist at the Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards.[4] By 2004, Wyatt had departed from MCA Records. She signed a contract, negotiated by her ex-husband/road manager Rahmat Morton, with Cash Money Records/Universal Motown Records, under the management of Cassandra Ware.[5] Her second album Emotional Rollercoaster was originally set for release on May 31, 2005, but was postponed for release in early 2006. In 2006, Wyatt was released from her contract with Cash Money Records, citing conflict with management as the reason for her departure.[5]
