Album Notes & Community Reviews

Escaping the shadow of his television sitcom success and his previous partnership with DJ Jazzy Jeff, the Philadelphia rapper's solo debut was a colossal, multi-platinum pop-rap phenomenon. Featuring incredibly catchy, disco-sampling hits like 'Gettin' Jiggy wit It' and 'Miami', the album defined the shiny, optimistic crossover sound of late-90s hip-hop.
