The Shocker is the debut album of American rapper Silkk the Shocker, who was then known as Silkk.[3] It was released on August 20, 1996, by No Limit Records and Priority Records. It features production by Beats by the Pound and guest appearances from C-Murder and Mia X among others. The Shocker was only a mild success compared to some his future albums and made it to number 49 on the US Billboard 200 and No. 6 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. As with most of No Limit's albums, this featured a lot of guest appearances from members of the record label including his brothers, Master P and C-Murder and group TRU.
