Nineteen Naughty Nine: Nature's Fury is the fifth studio album by Naughty by Nature, which was released on April 27, 1999, as their first and only album for Arista Records. The album was a success, peaking at 22 on the Billboard 200 and produced a big comeback hit for the group with " Jamboree", which reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Three additional singles, "Dirt All By My Lonely", "Live or Die" and " Holiday", all had minor success on the charts.

Due to drama with Treach involving the group's finances, DJ Kay Gee would leave the group a year and a half following the album's release until May 2006.
