The Skills Dat Pay da Bills is Positive K's debut album, which was released November 3, 1992. With " I Got a Man" making waves on the radio, he was doing underground compilation appearances, guest spots on other hip-hop artists' albums, and worked with emcee Big Daddy Kane on the single ("Nightshift"), which led to his album. Despite reviews calling the album more than a fluke hit, it lacked perseverance on the album charts, leading him to become a one-hit wonder. To date, the album is still beloved in the underground hip-hop community.
This album is the first recorded instance of the phrase " drop it like it's hot," which appears in the songs "Ain't No Crime" and "Minnie the Moocher."[ citation needed]
