Wild Cowboys is the solo debut by Brand Nubian member Sadat X, released in mid-1996 on Loud Records. Though the album did not receive much mainstream attention, it was a popular underground release, partly due to the album's guest producers, which included D.I.T.C. members Buckwild, Diamond D and Showbiz, as well as underground legends Pete Rock, Da Beatminerz and O.Gee / DJ Ogee. Wild Cowboys features the singles "Hang 'Em High", "Stages & Lights" and "The Lump Lump". A sequel to the album was released on March 23, 2010.
