Nineteen Naughty Nine: Nature's Fury is the fifth studio album by Naughty by Nature, which was released on April 27, 1999, as their first and only album for Arista Records. The album was a success, peaking at 22 on the Billboard 200 and produced a big comeback hit for the group with "Jamboree", which reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Three additional singles, "Dirt All By My Lonely", "Live or Die" and "Holiday", all had minor success on the charts.

Due to drama with Treach involving the group's finances, DJ Kay Gee would leave the group a year and a half following the album's release until 2000.
