Here Comes the Fuzz is the debut studio album by British-American producer Mark Ronson. The album was released on 8 September 2003, led by the lead single, "Ooh Wee". Unlike Ronson's later releases his debut album focuses more on the genre of hip hop music with guest appearances from a number of famous rappers and hip hop alumni including Ghostface Killah, M.O.P., Nate Dogg, Saigon, Q-Tip, Sean Paul and Mos Def. The album also features appearances from singers Rivers Cuomo, Jack White and Daniel Merriweather whose commercial breakthrough came with this album.

The album did not perform well chart wise, only peaking at No. 70 in Ronson's home territory, however it did sell more than 18,000 copies in the US.[6] Ronson later addressed the failure of the album, often by joking that "only 12 people bought it." The album has sold 92,676 copies in the UK as of January 2015.[7]
