Ill Na Na is the debut album by American rapper Foxy Brown (rapper). It was released in the United States on November 19, 1996, and on June 1, 1998 in the United Kingdom. The album spawned Brown's first hit single, "I'll Be", featuring hip-hop artist Jay-Z. The album has sold over a million copies in the United States.

Album History

After appearing on several guest appearances on a number of albums, such as LL Cool J's "I Shot Ya (Remix)", holding her own with respected rappers such as Keith Murray, Prodigy, and Fat Joe, Case's "Touch Me, Tease Me", Jay-Z's "Ain't No Nigga", and Total's "No One Else (Remix) also featuring Da Brat and Lil' Kim, Foxy Brown went into the recording studio in 1996 to record her debut album revolving around the theme as a member of the short-lived rap supergroup The Firm featuring Nas, AZ, and Nature. The album can almost be looked at as a prelude to the supergroup's 1997 album.

The album featured guest appearances by Blackstreet, Havoc, Method Man, Kid Capri, and Jay-Z with production by the majority of the production by hip-hop producers Trackmasters. Ill Na Na produced two hit singles, "Get Me Home" featuring Blackstreet, and "I'll Be" featuring Jay-Z. "Ill Na Na" was re-released in 1997 featuring her third hit single "Big Bad Mamma" featuring Dru Hill, which originally appeared on the How to Be a Player soundtrack.
