Rated G is the third studio album by American hip hop group 5th Ward Boyz, released in 1995 on Rap-A-Lot Records. Notable guest appearances on the album include UGK and Flesh-n-Bone of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.
Producer Mike Dean, who had worked on the group's previous two albums, returned to produce the album, with the three members of the 5th Ward Boyz serving as co-producers for the majority of the album. Additional producers include Pimp C and Scarface. N.O. Joe, who also produced the group's previous two albums, did not contribute to Rated G.
The album peaked at #189 on the Billboard 200 and #35 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, their lowest charting position on both.
