The album produced three further singles, including "Shorty (Got Her Eyes On Me)" and "Where I Wanna Be," the latter of which reached number two on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and was eventually certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales in excess of 1.0 million copies. Boosted by its hit single "U Know What's Up," a number two hit on the UK Singles Chart and top ten entry on the US Billboard Hot 100, it peaked at number six on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums in the United States.
In 1999, Jones enjoyed major success with the release of his second album, Where I Wanna Be. Its first two singles, "In the Hood" and a cover of Stevie Wonder's 1976 ballad "Knocks Me Off My Feet," became top thirty hits on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs as well as the New Zealand Singles Chart. A moderate commercial success, it peaked at number 30 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, but failed to reach the upper half of the US Billboard 200. While most of the album was produced by Jones himself, it also featured help from Eddie Ferrell's Untouchables Entertainment production team, involving Mookie, Marks Sparks, Kenny Tonge, and Darin Whittington. In June 1996, Jones released his debut album, My Heart, on LaFace Records.
