Eric Henry Timmons,[1][2] professionally known as Freak Nasty, is an American hip hop recording artist[3][4] and record producer from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was raised in New Orleans.[3] He is best known for his Top 40[3] single "Da' Dip" released in 1996[4] which was a sleeper hit,[4] and ultimately went mainstream in the summer of 1997;[4] it later peaked number 15[5] on the Hot 100. Later he released "Do What U Feel"[5] from the album Which Way Is Up,[5] but it failed to reach the success of the previous song, making it to No. 87 on the Hot R&B charts.[5]
Music career
Freak Nasty began his career as a DJ and a hip hop producer. He was one of two, in a group called PMW. He then found success in Atlanta, Georgia with his first album Freak Nasty, selling close to 300,000 units.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". His next album Controversee... That's Life... And That's the Way It Is, was a much bigger hit and sold over 5 million units,Script error: No such module "Unsubst". mainly due to his smash hit single "Da' Dip", which peaked at number 15[5] on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2007, the single "Do It Just Like a Rockstar" peaked at number 45[5] on the Billboard Hot 100, due to mistaken ID3 tags; the iTunes Store erroneously titled the song "Party Like a Rockstar", which led to consumers confusing it with the Shop Boyz single of the same name.[6][7]
