In 1996, he teamed with Chicago producer The Legendary Traxster and Cwal's Do or Die on the track "Po Pimp" produced by The Legendary Traxster, which became a hit single. This led to a Cwal's label deal with Atlantic Records, which released "Adrenaline Rush" in 1997. Twista had by then dropped the "Tung" from his stage name. "Adrenaline Rush" became Twista's first charting album, as it peaked at #77 on the Billboard Hot 200. The album also spawned a "Billboard" Hot 100 hit in "Get It Wet" produced by The Legendary Traxster, which peaked at #96.
