=== 1995β2000: Return to New Orleans and mainstream success === In 1995, Master P moved from California back to [[New Orleans]] to relocate No Limit Records with a set of new artists and in-house producers [[Beats By the Pound]]. On April 16, 1996, Master P released his fifth album ''[[Ice Cream Man (album)|Ice Cream Man]]''. It contained the hit single "[[Mr. Ice Cream Man]]". Later in 1996, Master P returned with TRU to work on ''[[Tru 2 da Game]]'', which would not be released until February 18, 1997. At that time, TRU was reduced to a trio with just Master P alongside his brothers [[C-Murder]] and [[Silkk the Shocker]]. On September 2, 1997, Master P released his breakthrough album ''[[Ghetto D]]''. The first week sales of the album were the highest of any of Master P's albums, selling more than 760,000 copies, and it went on to go certified triple platinum. It contained the hit single "[[Make 'Em Say Uhh!]]", Master P's highest-charting single to date. The song earned him an [[MTV Video Music Award]] nomination the following year for "Best Rap Video", but lost to [[Will Smith]]'s "[[Gettin' Jiggy Wit It]]". On June 2, 1998, Master P released his seventh and best-selling album to date ''[[MP Da Last Don]]''. Master P released a film of the same name earlier that year. The album debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Top 200 charts selling more than 400,000 copies in its first week, and went on to sell in excess of four million copies. On October 26, 1999, Master P released his eighth studio album ''[[Only God Can Judge Me]]'', which contained his single "Step To Dis". The album went certified gold, selling more than 500,000 copies. In 1999, Master P and TRU released their fifth studio album ''[[Da Crime Family]]''. On November 28, 2000, he released his ninth studio album ''[[Ghetto Postage]]'', which contained his hit singles "Bout Dat" and "Souljas". Also in 2000, Master P and his new group [[504 Boyz]] released their debut album ''[[Goodfellas (504 Boyz album)|Goodfellas]]'', which peaked at number 1 on the [[Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums]] and contained their hit single "[[Wobble Wobble]]".
