In 1993, Sir Mix-a-Lot collaborated with Seattle-based grunge band [[Mudhoney]] for the song "Freak Momma" on the ''[[Judgment Night (film)|Judgment Night]]'' soundtrack.<ref name="allmusic"/>

In 1994, he released the album ''[[Chief Boot Knocka]]'', which reached #69 on the Billboard 200 and #28 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Charts. The album featured the hit single "Put 'Em On The Glass". "Just Da Pimpin' in Me" was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance but lost to "Let Me Ride" by Dr. Dre.

When his 1996 album ''[[Return of the Bumpasaurus]]'' was only given a low label promotion, leading to lackluster sales, Sir Mix-a-Lot left Def American.

In 1999–2000, he worked closely with the band [[The Presidents of the United States of America (band)|The Presidents of the United States of America]] under the group name "Subset" with a combination of rock and rap music.
