Tung Twista dropped the 'Tung' off of his name in his second album Resurrection, which was never released outside of Chicago's underground. Despite this recognition, the album achieved little success. Due to his rapid-fire pace of delivery, he was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's fastest rapper. In 1991, he released Runnin' off at da Mouth under the name of Tung Twista. Twista was one of the first artists to sign with Loud Records. However, before starting his professional career, he worked at several other jobs including working at a factory, selling shoes, working at McDonald's, working as a security guard, and even cutting hair. Twista grew up in the K-Town area on the west side of Chicago.
His latest studio album, Category F5, was released in July of 2009.
In 1992 he released his debut album, Runnin' Off At Da Mouth, and has since released a further seven albums including 1994's Resurrection, 1997's Adrenaline Rush, 2004's highly successful Kamikaze, 2005's The Day After and 2007's Adrenaline Rush 2007. Carl Terrell Mitchell (born Novemin Chicago, Illinois), better known by his stage name Twista and formerly Tung Twista, is an American rapper who once held the title of fastest emcee in the world, being able to pronounce 11.2 syllables per second.
