He then went on to record "African Thing" with Prezident Brown (released on Island/Mango), the success of which led him to work with producers such as Bobby Digital (Funny, Funny), Donovan Germain (All That Glitters), Steely and Clevie (Hard Core), as well as Grammy Award winning producer Jim Jonsin (who has worked on songs such as "Space Bound", by Eminem and "Lollipop" by Lil' Wayne).

In 1997 he released his debut album. In the same year he appeared at Sting '97 with then newcomer Sean Paul with whom Williams had attended school (Paul considers Williams his mentor). In the later half of the 1990s, the studios that handled Williams' music were delivering thousands of dancehall releases. He attended Wolmer's Schools, where he represented the school in table tennis.
