Guests

Many guest appear on the album, the first appearance is made by Bushwick Bill who hooks up with DMG on the "Intro". Cozy-K appears on the track "Prelude to a Murdah". Former Geto Boys member Big Mike assists DMG on the song "Rest In Peace". The last and the most set of collaborations comes with track 15 "Buck Em Down" which is assisted by Geto Boys rapper Scarface and another appearance by Big Mike and south-coast group 5th Ward Boyz and 2 Low and Mr. 3-2 fill the rest in.

Reception

Rapreviews gave Rigormortiz 8/10 and stated that the common element on all the tracks is the deep and hard-hitting bass complemented by sharp snares. The samples used vary, but the end result is a serving of hard gangsta funk for DMG to spit over. Lyrically, DMG fits right in with the hard core gangsta element that has made Rap-A-Lot the label it is. Allmusic rated the album 3/5.

The album stayed in the "R&B/Hip-Hop Albums" for 20 weeks
