Only God Can Judge Me is the eighth studio album by American hip hop recording artist Master P, released on October 26, 1999 by No Limit Records, Priority Records and EMI. It was considered a "comeback album" for the established rapper, as 1998's MP da Last Don was slated to be his final release. It was produced primarily by Master P and Carlos Stephens as well as Jermaine Dupri, and features several guest contributions from fellow American rappers such as Nas, Jermaine Dupri, Mac, Silkk the Shocker, Mystikal and Magic.
Background
It marked Master P's return to Rap as a solo artist after P vowed he would retire as a solo artist after the chart-topping "MP Da Last Don" in 1998. There were promotional videos for the two singles " Step to Dis and Da Ballers " which was a success.
Commercial performance
It has been certified Platinum by the RIAA for shipments of 1,000,000 units. It has sold over 640,000 copies in the United States and more than 1 million copies worldwide.
