Mystikal (born Michael L. Tyler on September 22, 1970) is an American rapper who grew up in the 12th Ward of New Orleans, Louisiana. He is one of many artists from Master P’s New Orleans-based No Limit label to achieve both critical and commercial success. In 2003, Mystikal pled guilty to sexual battery. He is currently serving a six-year prison sentence.

Michael Tyler went to Cohen High School in New Orleans. Later he would go on to be in the Army and serve as a Meal, Ready-to-Eat supply clerk assigned to a stateside support unit.

His debut album was Mystikal, released on the indie label Big Boy Records in 1995. He signed to Jive Records to release Mind of Mystikal in 1996. The album sold well, and he signed to Master P’s No Limit Records for Unpredictable in 1997. The album sold well, and garnered him critical praise, though his real breakthrough was Let’s Get Ready released in 2000, led by The Neptunes-produced hit “Shake Ya Ass,” and the only slightly-less-successful single “Danger (Been So Long),” which featured rising pop star Nivea. It debuted at Number One on the Billboard 200, making it his only chart-topper to date.
One of his most recent releases was the 2001 album Tarantula, which contained the single, “Bouncin’ Back (Bumpin’ Me Against The Wall)”. Though it presented Mystikal’s typical and unique flow style, the song also saw a blending of jazz and swing elements with hip-hop. He was also featured on “Move Bitch” by Ludacris.
