Cheers is the debut studio album by rapper Obie Trice,
released on September 23, 2003 after he was signed to Shady Records in 2000.
The title track "Cheers" celebrates Obie's successful debut into the
rap game after being in the Detroit underground for many years. The album's
title is a homage to the long running NBC sitcom of the same name, and the
album cover features a logo similar to that used on the show.
The album consists of 17 tracks, with executive production
from Eminem, and additional production by Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Mike Elizondo,
Emile, Fredwreck and Denaun Porter. Artists featuring on Cheers include Busta
Rhymes, D12, Dr. Dre, Nate Dogg, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Timbaland, and Tony Yayo
Topics Obie has touched on this album include his life on the streets of
Detroit, problems with his mother, relationships with women and the soulful
reminder that, despite having made it into the mainstream, he has not forgotten
his friends.
