Just Tryin' ta Live is the second album from rapper Devin the Dude. It was a minor critical success, but did not fare well commercially. It peaked at #61 on the Billboard 200 chart, but had no charting singles. It features high-profile guest appearances from Nas and Xzibit as well as production from Dr. Dre and DJ Premier, but overall is an underground style album.
