Play Witcha Mama
Play Witcha Mama is the third solo album by American rapper Willie D. It was released on October 25, 1994, through Wize Up/Wrap Records with distribution via Ichiban Records. Recording sessions took place at Ultimate Sounds Studio in Houston and Street Knowledge Productions in Los Angeles. Production was handled by Derek "Grizz" Edwards, Crazy C, and Willie D himself, who also served as executive producer. It features guest appearances from Sho, Rasir X, The Lost Boys, Ice Cube and Lez Moné. The album was supported with three singles: "Play Witcha Mama", "Is It Real " and "Creepin'".
The album turned out to be a commercial failure, reaching only number 31 on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The rapper returned to the Geto Boys to work on the group's next album, The Resurrection, which was released in 1996.
The album's cut "Guess My Religion" was covered by Insane Clown Posse for their 2012 cover album Smothered, Covered & Chunked.
