It was released on Antra Records, a label formed after Kurupt left Death Row Records. It was released as a double album and distributed by A&M Records. Originally scheduled for release on September 1, 1998, with the album cover even announcing that date, the album was pushed back to October 6, 1998.[1][2]

Production

Kurupt was the executive producer of the album. It features guest appearances from numerous rappers from both the East Coast and West Coast, including Daz Dillinger, Noreaga, Tray Deee, Roscoe, and Dr. Dre. Disc one is labeled as "West Coast" and disc two is labeled as "East Coast".

Critical reception

Template:Album ratings The Indianapolis Star noted that "the 'West Coast' disc is airy, sometimes sunny, with crews riding through California streets in search of women and cash."[3] Rolling Stone concluded that "Kurupt's urgent flow, derived from his idol Rakim, unifies the two discs, but Kuruption, like virtually all two-CD sets, could easily have been pared down to one."[4]

Commercial performance

It peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 on October 24, 1998,[5] and sold 82,000 copies in its first week.[6]
