In 1998, Twista teamed with other Chicago area rappers to form the Speedknot Mobstaz. They released their first album, "Mobstability" produced entirely by The Legendary Traxster, in 1998. Twista then formed his own Legit Ballin' label, which released two compilation albums: "Legit Ballin"' in 1999 and "Legit Ballin' Vol. 2: Street Scriptures" in 2001. The label later released "Respect The Game, Vol. 3" in 2002 and "Volume 4: Tha Truth" in 2006. In 2000, Twista collaborated with Ruff Ryders and Drag-On on the "Ruff Ryders: Ryde or Die Vol. 2" album, on the track "Twisted Heat."
