Latyrx (The Album) is the debut full-length studio album by the American underground hip-hop duo Latyrx, consisting of San Francisco Bay area rappers Lateef the Truthspeaker and Lyrics Born. The album was released on August 25, 1997 on the Solesides record label. Solesides was reestablished as Quannum Projects soon after, and the album was re-released on the Quannum label in 2002.

Allmusic notes that the "sonically inventive" album, when considered with subsequent Quannum releases, "represents a major step for the Solesides (later Quannum) collective in replacing the Hieroglyphics as the Bay Area's most adventurous underground crew."
