Unleashed is the third studio album by American rapper Bow Wow. It includes the singles "Let's Get Down", amongst others. It was his only album produced without his mentor Jermaine Dupri. He dropped the 'Lil' from his stage name after his major film debut Like Mike in 2002.

The album debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 with 129,000 copies sold in the first week released.[3] A couple months later the album was certified Gold by the RIAA with an excess of 500,000 copies sold.[4]

Bow Wow has said in interviews that Birdman and the Hot Boys were an influence on this album. Due to working to keep up with his PG-13 rhyming to fit in more with the new hip hop culture than his previous.

Originally Bow Wow was to appear on the albums cover with raised twin Glock pistols but the artwork was pulled at the last minute after the imagery was deemed unsuitable for many of Bow Wow's younger fans.
