My Field Trip to Planet 9 is the debut studio album by Justin Warfield. It was released on Qwest Records on July 13, 1993.

Critical reception

Jason Ankeny of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "The hip-hop debut of Justin Warfield is built around old-school rhythms fleshed out with some intriguing samples, drawn largely from the canon of '60s psychedelic rock."[1] Geoffrey Himes of The Washington Post said, "[Warfield's] raps, with their tired mix of criminal boasting, gratuitous weirdness and hip-hop cliches, leave almost no impression at all."[2]

In 2015, Fact placed it at number 43 on the "50 Best Trip-Hop Albums of All Time" list.[4]
