Her solo debut in 2001, Soul Sista, was released on November 13, 2001 by MCA Records. The album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for a shipments of 500,000 copies in the United States.[3] In 2002, her rendition of "Nothing in This World" led to a nomination for Best New R&B/Soul/Rap Artist at the Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards.[4] By 2004, Wyatt had departed from MCA Records. She signed a contract, negotiated by her ex-husband/road manager Rahmat Morton, with Cash Money Records/Universal Motown Records, under the management of Cassandra Ware.[5] Her second album Emotional Rollercoaster was originally set for release on May 31, 2005, but was postponed for release in early 2006.
