All Money Is Legal is the debut studio album by American rapper Amil(pictured). A hip hop album, it was released on August 29, 2000, through Roc-A-Fella, Columbia, and Sony Music. Jay-Z, Damon Dash, and Amil served as executive producers. Future spouses Jay-Z and Beyoncé met for the first time during the album's recording sessions. Although Jay-Z had written Amil's verses for their past collaborations, she wrote her own lyrics for all of the album's tracks. The songs focus on wealth and, to a lesser degree, Amil's personal life. Reviews were mixed; critics were divided over the album's production and Amil's verses. It peaked at number 45 on the US Billboard 200 chart. Two singles – 'I Got That' with vocals from Beyoncé and '4 da Fam' with verses from Memphis Bleek, Beanie Sigel, and Jay-Z – were released from the album and promoted with accompanying music videos. 'I Got That' reached number one on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop SinglesBillboard chart, and '4 da Fam' charted on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.(Full article..)
