as well as producing for other artists including Heavy D, Soul for Real, Method Man and Faith Evans. 1995−2000: Commercial success In 1995, Trackmasters produced two major hits for LL Cool J from his Mr. Smith album: "Hey Lover" and "Loungin". The album is also notable for Foxy Brown's musical debut on the single "I Shot Ya (remix)". "Hey Lover" featuring Boyz II Men reached #3 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B Singles charts and was certified platinum. The remix of "Loungin" became known by many as the quintessential version. The remix which features R&B group Total peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1996, Nas released his second album It Was Written featuring Poke & Tone as main producers. Although it was criticized for having a more mainstream or commercialized sound, it was highly successful, topping the Billboard 200 chart for a month straight and is Nas' best selling album to date. The two singles "Street Dreams" and "If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)" also helped the Trackmasters establish their position as prominent hip hop producers of that era. They also were heavily involved with Foxy Brown's debut album "Ill Na Na", producing the majority of the album including the hit singles "Get me Home" featuring Blackstreet and "I'll Be" which also featured Jay-Z. Capitalizing on recent success and taking advice from manager Steve Stoute, Trackmasters and Nas created hip-hop supergroup The Firm which also included Foxy Brown, AZ and Nature. Teaming up with Dr. Dre, the group released their debut album on Aftermath Recordings with production shared between Trackmasters and Dre. However, the group disbanded after just one album and continued solo careers. Towards the late 1990s, a new commercial sound had emerged in the hip-hop scene. Sometimes referred to as the "Jiggy Era" or "Shiny Suit Era", it was characterized by upbeat instrumentals which featured samples of many recognizable 1980s hits. The Trackmasters were in high demand from many record labels for their ability to create radio-friendly records which were not deemed to be "selling out", and around this time they produced singles such as Will Smith's "Miami" and "Men in Black", Jay-Z's "Wishing on a Star", R. Kelly's "Did You Ever Think", and the Trackmasters Remix to Ricky Martin's "Livin' la Vida Loca" which featured Big Pun and Fat Joe. 2000−2005: Columbia Records In 2000, Trackmasters signed upcoming rapper 50
