Jewelz is the second album by D.I.T.C. member O.C.. Unlike his debut, 1994's Word...Life, Jewelz features a wider number of guest producers and rappers. Legendary producer DJ Premier lends his hand on four songs, other producers include D.I.T.C. members Buckwild (who produced the majority of his debut), Showbiz and Lord Finesse, as well as Da Beatminerz and O.Gee who did the song "Can't Go Wrong" with a vocal sample of the late Kenny Greene of the group Intro, and featured on the single Changing Faces.

This album, like his first, received strong reviews, but lacked in sales. He made his first appearance on the Billboard 200 album chart with the album, and also, his first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, with the single "Far From Yours".
