Chicken-n-Beer is the fourth album by rapper Ludacris. It peaked at number one in the United States with 429,000 copies sold in the first week. Def Jam released the album early when the album's tracks leaked on peer-to-peer file sharing networks. The album features the single "Stand Up" (produced by Kanye West), as well as the singles "P-Poppin'", "Splash Waterfalls", and "Diamond in the Back" which samples William DeVaughn's "Be Thankful For What You Got".
