On Top of da World is the debut solo studio album by American rapper
Lil Italy. It was released on August 3, 1999 via
No Limit Records. Recording sessions took place at K-Lou Studios in
Richmond, California and at No Limit Studios in
Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Production was handled by K-Lou,
KLC, Ricky "Gold Fingers" Rivera, Carlos "C-Los Beats" Stephens, Charles Doyle Leonard and Poorman Dre, with
Master P serving as executive producer.
The record was a commercial disappointment, peaking at #99 on the
Billboard 200 and #20 on
Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and resulted in Lil Italy being dropped from the label. The album was also a critical disappointment, with Michael Gallucci of
AllMusic rated the album two out of five stars, writing that it "has no personality, not one distinguishing mark to separate it from the rest of the [No Limit] army."[1]
