His debut album, The Natural, dropped in 1995 with production from Irv, Mark Sparks, Buckwild and Da Beatminerz. The Single Shit's Real became somewhat of an underground hit. The album features a classic New York sound with features from DITC member O.C., DMX, Ja Rule, Jay-Z and more. The album gets kind of forgotten in the face of NY classics like Illmatic, The Infamous and Ready to Die but Mic does his thing on this album.
