Produced by DJ Paul and Juicy J, "The One and Only," which was praised by Rhapsody online music service as one of "The 10 Best Albums By White Rappers," has sold over 120,000 copies in the U.S.
"The One and Only" album debuted at #46 on the Billboard 200 becoming Lil Wyte's best charting album to date. Riding the success of now two studio albums with Hypnotize Minds, it wasn't until 2006 that Lil Wyte started recording a new studio album, "The One and Only" which was released on Jon Hypnotize Minds/Warner Bros. Lil Wyte followed up the success of Doubt Me Now with his second studio album "Phinally Phamous" on October 19, 2004, which debuted at #64 on Billboard 200 and #6 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums featuring Frayser Boy, Josey Scott, Three 6 Mafia, Hypnotize Camp Posse and Dirtbag. The album, which songs was produced by DJ Paul & Juicy J, has sold 360,000 copies since releasing independently. Lil Wyte's debut studio album "Doubt Me Now" was released on Hypnotize Minds soon after on March 4, 2003, which became an underground hit in Southern hip-hop. Not long after that, Lil Wyte appeared on Project Pat's song "Crash da Club" from off Pat's fourth studio album "Layin' da Smack Down" in 2002. Lil Wyte ended up getting signed to Hypnotize Minds after a demo tape of the hip hop group, the Shelby Forest Click, which Lil Wyte was a member of, was heard by Juicy J and DJ Paul of Three 6 Mafia, who were impressed with the song Memphiz Playaz. Lil Wyte also operates his own independent label Wyte Music. Lil Wyte (born Patrick Lanshaw on October 6, 1982) is a Memphis rapper that has been signed to Memphis rap group Three 6 Mafia's label Hypnotize Minds since the early 2000's.

He's crunk to the core and has delivered one of the genre's few great full-lengths.01. Maybe it's that Lil Wyte couldn't do it any other way. Maybe it's producers DJ Paul and Juicy J who work on all the tracks but still keep things fresh. Maybe it's the guest stars, all from Wyte's hood and all straight crunk. Lil Wyte is one of crunk's greatest champions and even a major label can't make him stray from releasing a street-worthy album. Not to worry, tracks like "I Did 'Em Wrong," "My Cutlass," and "Icy Whites Soljas" are so alive they're hard to resist if you have even the slightest taste for that brash and minimal sound from the South. "Static Addict" is a halfway successful attempt to keep the momentum going and the only time the album's party chants are standard issue. "I Sho Will" is the monolithic kickoff single with rolling bass, a gripping chorus, and the right amount of punch to announce Wyte's arrival. He's more concerned with giving it raw and getting the party started, and Phinally Phamous does just that. He's just not a troubled soul like Eminem. Not that Lil Wyte can't make a point or two. From start to finish, Phinally Phamous is hard, filled with street beats to make your head bob, and more fun than filling. Not bad, and while mainstream rap fans won't find much to holler about here, crunk fans with a taste for underground beats will be supersatisfied.
With a rapid mouth and an attitude that's straight-up crunk, Lil Wyte came out of nowhere, landed his "My Smoking Song" on every Southern mixtape that mattered, and ended up one of the flagship artists on the revitalized Asylum label.
