Still I Rise is an album by 2Pac and the Outlawz, released in 1999 on Death Row Records and Interscope Records. It is 2Pac's third posthumous album, and the first album by Outlawz as a group. The album excludes some members of the Outlawz, such as Hussein Fatal, who left the group as he refused to sign to Death Row. The album contains all previously unreleased, albeit remixed material. It features production work from 2Pac's close collaborators Tony Pizarro, Johnny "J" and QDIII, as well as a guest appearance by Nate Dogg.
"Baby Don't Cry (Keep Ya Head Up II)" was the only single released from the album. Still I Rise debuted at #7 on the Billboard 200 chart and sold 408,000 copies in its first week. It was certified platinum in 2000, and has since sold 1,692,316 copies.
