The Album is the only studio album by the American hip-hop supergroup The Firm. It was released on October 21, 1997, by Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. The group was formed by rapper Nas, his manager Steve Stoute, and producers Dr. Dre and Trackmasters. The original lineup — Nas, AZ, Foxy Brown, and Cormega — had first collaborated on the song "Affirmative Action" from Nas' 1996 album It Was Written. Cormega later left the group due to artistic differences with Nas and contract disputes with Stoute, and was replaced by Nature before recording began. The Album is a concept album centered around themes of the American Mafia and the "gangsta" lifestyle. The project is structured similarly to a compilation, with songs credited individually to the participating artists — whether Firm members or guests — with all performers listed as main artists except Dawn Robinson, who is specifically credited as a featuring artist. There is no song on the album that features all members of the Firm together on a single track, and one song is credited solely to a non-member. The album's production was handled mainly by Dr. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Alb...) under Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY-SA 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)
