The 5% Album is the debut solo record from Brand Nubian member Lord Jamar. It's title and subject matter are taken from the Nation of Gods and Earths teachings that only 5% of the population is enlightened, good, and willing to help those who are oppressed. It features guests from Wu-Tang Clan members RZA and Raekwon the Chef, fellow Brand Nubian Members Grand Puba and Sadat X, Wu-Tang affiliate Poppa Wu, and the sons of GZA (Young Justice), Ol' Dirty Bastard (Young Dirty), and Jamar's own son (Young Lord).
