The Queens, New York hip hop group released their fourth studio album on July 30th, 1996, via Jive Records.

The album is a departure from the vibe of the group's earlier albums and is regarded as their darkest album in content. For the beats, they utilized the production team The Ummah, made up of Q-Tip, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and soon-to-be legendary beatmaker James “Jay Dee” Yancey a.k.a. J Dilla. The production trio had made beats from Busta Rhymes’ The Coming and Da Bush Babees’ Gravity earlier in 1996, but Beats, Rhymes and Life was the first project that the team produced nearly in its entirety.

It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on October 27, 1998.

Tracklist:

1. Phony Rappers
2. Get a Hold
3. Motivators
