The Cactus Album
The Cactus Album (The Cee/Dee) was the old school rap debut album by 3rd Bass, released on Def Jam. The album received rave reviews from the hip hop press, and gained some publicity by being perhaps the first white group to achieve real hip hop credibility.
The Cactus Album peaked at #5 on Billboard's Top Hip Hop/R&B Albums chart, and at #55 on the Billboard 200 chart.
