Only God Can Judge Me is the eighth studio album by American hip hop recording artist Master P, released in October, 1999, by No Limit Records and Priority Records. It was considered a "comeback album" for the established rapper, as 1998's MP Da Last Don was slated to be his final release. It was produced primarily by Master P and Carlos Stephens as well as Jermaine Dupri, and features several guest contributions from fellow American rappers such as Nas, Jermaine Dupri, Mac, Silkk the Shocker, Mystikal and Magic.

Background

It marked Master P's return to Rap as a solo artist after P vowed he would retire as a solo artist after the chart-topping "MP Da Last Don" in 1998. There were promotional videos for the two singles " Step to Dis and Da Ballers " which was a success.

Commercial performance

It has been certified GOLD by the RIAA. It has sold over 640,000 copies in the United States and more than 1 million copies worldwide.
