For the Princes of the West Bank (Yia Tous Prinkipes Tis Dytikis Ochthis) was Pyx Lax’s fourth studio album, released in 1994 on the Harvest label by Minos-EMI. It was recorded from June 1993 to March 1994 at the studio “IN”, Agia Paraskevi, Athens. The album is dedicated to “all those who always were satisfied with less, and whose dignity prevented them from ‘begging’ for more. For the real princes of the ‘West Bank’."[1]

The album features several guest artists. The recording of "Anites Agapes" was a collaboration with the song's creators Haris and Panos Katsimihas (the Katsimihas Brothers), who share the lead vocals on that track with Babis Stokas. On "Psichalizi sto Veligradi", a recitation in Serbian with a musical backdrop, Pyx Lax collaborated with the Serbian artist Bajaga. The music was composed by another Serb, Saša Dragić, who also wrote the music for "Ti Ine Afto Pou Mas Chorizi?". Finally, the lead vocals on "Mia Zoi Sto Risko" are by the guest singer Sotiria Leonardou, and Giorgos Stathos plays clarinet on “Lene Gia Mena”.
