Usual Suspects is the fourth studio album by American hip hop group 5th Ward Boyz, released in 1997 on Rap-A-Lot Records. Most of the album was produced by Mike Dean, who had provided production on the group's previous three albums, and Mr. Lee. Other producers include the 5th Ward Boyz, Scarface and John Bido.
Though the album was an improvement on the charts over their last album Rated G, peaking at #180 on the Billboard 200 and #26 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, Usual Suspects was less well received.
