Word…Life is the 1994 debut album from underground Hip Hop artist O.C., who came to prominence in hip-hop because of the album. It also helped establish his membership in the legendary Hip Hop crew D.I.T.C., which includes Lord Finesse, Showbiz & A.G., Diamond D, Fat Joe, Big L and Buckwild, who produced the majority of this album.
The album is most remembered because of the single "Time's Up". The instrumental to the track was used for a battle in the hit movie 8 Mile. The song was a scathing accusation, pointed at thug-posturers who were flooding the hip hop scene at the time. Vocal clips from the song have been sampled in numerous hip hop tracks throughout the years.
Word…Life was re-issued in 2004, its tenth anniversary, with five bonus tracks. They are:
1. "Challenge Y'all"
2. "U Made Me"
3. "U-N-I"
4. "Half Good Half Sinner"
5. "Wordplay"
