The Skills Dat Pay da Bills

The Skills Dat Pay da Bills was Positive K's debut album, released November 3, 1992. With "I Got a Man" making waves in the radio, he was doing underground compilation appearances, guest spots on other hip-hop artists' albums, and worked with emcee Big Daddy Kane on the single ("Nightshift"), which led to his album. Despite reviews calling the album more than a fluke hit, it lacked perseverance on the album charts, leading him to become a one-hit wonder. To date, the album is still beloved in the underground hip-hop community.

This album is the first recorded instance of the phrase "drop it like it's hot", which appears on the song "Ain't No Crime".
