Still I Rise is an album by 2Pac and the Outlawz which is released as the third posthumous studio album of 2Pac, and the first album by Outlawz as a group (not to be confused with their debut Ride wit Us or Collide wit Us). The album excludes some of the original line up of Outlawz and Hussein Fatal, who had left the group as he had refused to sign to Death Row. The album contains all previously unreleased, albeit remixed material. It was released on December 21, 1999, by Interscope Records.

Contents

The album features production from 2Pac's close producers Tony Pizarro, Johnny "J" and QDIII, and appearances from Big Syke and Nate Dogg.

"Baby Don't Cry (Keep Ya' Head Up II)" which features female group H.E.A.T. was the only single from the album. The song "Letter to the President" is featured in the film Training Day (2001).

Commercial success

The album debuted at #7 on the Billboard 200 chart and sold 408,000 in the first week. It was certified Platinum February 2, 2000. It eventually sold 1,692,316 by 2011, according to Nielsen Soundscan.

By February 10, 2000 it had been certified for 50,000 units sold in Canada. On 14 March 2014 it was certified Gold by BPI for 100,000 units sold in the UK.
