Bouncin' Back To The Iron College!

The man right here.

Former rapper Michael Tyler, 55 will officially be in a Louisiana iron college after he was convicted of another sexual abuse crime. 

Formerly known as Mystikal, the sexual predator received multiple Grammy nominations in the early 2000s, will serve 20 years in prison for raping a woman at his Louisiana home in 2022.

Michael Lawrence Tyler pleaded guilty to third-degree rape in March with a sentencing cap of 20 years, five years less than the maximum punishment for the crime. His plea deal reduced the charge from first-degree rape, which carries an automatic life sentence.

Days before his Tuesday sentencing hearing, he asked a judge to withdraw his guilty plea, saying he “did not have sufficient opportunity to fully consider the consequences,” according to ABC affiliate WBRZ.

The victim spoke in court before sentencing and asked the judge to give Mystikal the maximum sentence, WBRZ reported. She reportedly said the rapper had punched her, choked her, pulled out her braids and forcibly raped her at his home in Prairieville, about 18 miles (29 kilometers) from Baton Rouge.

“If I did that to you, I deserve the max sentence,” he tearfully said in response, according to the local TV station.

A lawyer for the rapper did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Mystikal has been held without bond at the Ascension Parish Jail since his arrest in 2022.

The Louisiana rapper rose to national recognition in the 1990s and is known for his 2000 hit “Shake Ya A(asterisk)(asterisk),” which was nominated for a Grammy in the best rap solo performance category.

In 2003, he pleaded guilty to sexual battery and was sentenced to six years in prison. That same year he was a Grammy nominee in two categories: best rap album for “Tarantula” and best male rap solo performance for his single “Bouncin’ Back (Bumpin’ Me Against The Wall).”

Mystikal was associated with No Limit Records. He signed to the label in 1995 and became a major success when he released Unpredictable and Ghetto Fabulous which went platinum. 

He released his two final albums Let’s Get Ready and Tarantula before heading to the iron college for the 2003 conviction.

He ended up briefly signing to Cash Money/Rich Gang. He ended up leaving in 2016 and was an independent artist until his second conviction.

He and C-Murder will not see the light of day. 

No Limit Records and Cash Money Records are launching a reunion tour. Master P, Silkk The Shocker, Mia X, Mac, KLC, Romeo will join Juvenile, Birdman, Mannie Fresh and B.G. on a New Orleans style rap tour.
