"Mr. Tung Twista" was the first single released by Twista, who was then known as Tung Twista, from his debut album, Runnin' Off at da Mouth. It was released in November 1991 shortly before Twista became the Guinness Book of World Records holder as the fastest emcee in 1992.[1] A promotional music video was released and got played on shows such as Yo! MTV Raps and Rap City, but the single itself failed to make it to the Billboard charts.
Carl Terrell Mitchell (born November 27, 1973), better known by his stage name Twista (formerly Tung Twista), is an American hip hop recording artist from Chicago, Illinois. He is perhaps best known for his chopper style of rapping and for once holding the title of fastest rapper in the world according to Guinness World Records in 1992, being able to pronounce 598 syllables in 55 seconds.[2] In 1997, after appearing on Do or Die's hit single "Po Pimp", produced by The Legendary Traxster, Twista signed with Big Beat and Atlantic Records, where he released his third album Adrenaline Rush and formed the group Speedknot Mobstaz, in 1998. His 2004 album Kamikaze reached the top of the US Billboard 200 album chart, after the success of the Billboard Hot 100 single "Slow Jamz".
