The Aftermath is the second studio album by American hip hop group Da Youngsta's, released in April 20, 1993 on EastWest Records America. Recording sessions took place at Marley's House of Hits, Unique Recording Studios and Greene St. Recording Studio in New York City and at Sigma Sound Studio in Philadelphia from April 1992 to February 1993. Released one year after their debut Somethin 4 da Youngsta's, the album has a notably more aggressive and edgy tone compared to their first album. Production was handled by DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Marley Marl, The Beatnuts, Naughty by Nature (as 118th Street Productions), Lawrence Goodman (who produced the entirety of the group's debut) and group member Qur'an Goodman.
The album peaked at #128 on the Billboard 200, #25 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and #4 on the Heatseekers Albums charts in the United States. The Aftermath releases the three singles: "Crewz Pop", "Wild Child" and "Iz U With Me".
