Nivea made waves in the rap community when she joined Mystikal for his smash hit "Danger." Nivea's sultry RB grooves were hot and the new millennium was her time to shine. Nivea's self-titled debut appeared on Jive in 2001; however, it was reissued the following year thanks to the success of "Danger" and Nivea's debut single, "Don't Mess With the Radio." This particular cut joined Nivea and Organized Noize (of TLC's "Waterfalls" fame) at the production board and Jagged Edge's Brian and Brandon Casey on guest vocals; second single "Ya Ya Ya" was produced by R. Kelly and debuted in November 2002. In early 2003, "Don't Mess With My Man" earned a Grammy nod for "Best RB Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal."
