Unleashed

Unleashed is the third studio album by American rapper Bow Wow. It was released on August 19, 2003, by Columbia Records. Recording sessions for the album took place from 2002 to 2003. The album features guest appearances from Amerie, Baby, Mario and Jagged Edge, with its production handled by Bink!, The Neptunes, Jazze Pha, Swizz Beatz and Lil Jon, among others. It is Bow Wow's only album without assistance or production from his mentor Jermaine Dupri, and the first album where he dropped the 'Lil' from his stage name after his film debut in Like Mike (2002).

Unleashed was supported by two singles: "Let's Get Down" and "My Baby". It received mixed reviews from critics, who felt that despite the changes in flow, production and lyrics, Bow Wow didn't distinguish himself enough to stand out from other rappers. Despite the mixed critical reception it was a commercial success, debuting at number three on the Billboard 200 and selling 120,000 copies in its first week. The album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in September 2003. As of July 2004, Unleashed has sold over 774,000 copies in the U.S. alone.
