Certified is the fourth album from rapper David Banner. It was released on September 20, 2005. Most of the production was done by Banner himself. Guests include Jadakiss, Jazze Pha, Talib Kweli, Twista, Jagged Edge, and others.

The first single was "Ain't Got Nothing" which was produced by Banner himself. It was not a success among the mainstream. The second single was the very dirty and highly popular "Play" which reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was produced by Mr. Collipark. In the video David Banner talks to different women who are in the gym and sweating. The third single was the clean version of "Fucking" called "Touching". On this track David and Jazze Pha rap about how they want to satisfy women.
