Rise to Power (Kane & Abel album)


Rise to Power is the third studio album by Kane & Abel. It was released on September 21, 1999, via Elektra Records, and was produced by the duo. The album addresses their then-recent federal indictment for cocaine possession.
The album found some success, peaking at #61 on the Billboard 200. It also made it to #11 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, but was not as successful as the group's previous album, Am I My Brother's Keeper. As of 2004, Rise to Power had sold over 115,000 copies.

Critical reception

CMJ New Music Report praised the album, writing that "the beats are incredible, thick chunks of intergalactic Moog funk." Vibe gave the album a negative review, commenting that the duo were unable to "recapture their glory days as part of Master P's camp."
