It reached the Australian top 10 in February 2004, and went gold. His album ''J-Wess Presents Tha LP'' was released on 5 April 2004 and debuted in the Australian top 20 album charts of 12 April 2004, peaking at No.19. A third single, "Luv Ya", debuted at No.15 on 7 June, and was written about the encounters J-Wess had with an exotic waitress he met at a suburban Melbourne cafe in 2004. A fourth single "Fantasy" was planned, with a music video filmed, but due to the "Luv Ya" and "Tha LP" not selling to their expectations, Fantasy was scrapped. J-Wess had announced his new single 'Anything For You' from his upcoming album "The Director's Cut". The single was released on June 10.
