It was released on Lex Records in 2003. It features guest appearances from tha Liks, J-Zone, Prince Po, and the Pharcyde. In 2004, a reprint of the album with three additional tracks was released in the United States.

Lex Records also released three EPs with tracks (and remixes of tracks) from the album: Take Care of Business, Conceited Bastard, and 26 Inch EP. Moreover, there was a special promotional CD, titled Ghetto Pop Mix, a mixtape with short remixes of the tracks from the album fading into each other, along with a couple of new exclusive tracks.

Critical receptionEdit

Mark Pytlik of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "Evocative without being pointlessly nostalgic and fun without being goofy, Ghetto Pop Life is a convincingly strong debut."<ref name=allmusic/> Dom Passantino of Stylus Magazine gave the album a grade of "A", calling it "not only one of the best albums of the year, but also possibly the strangest."<ref name=stylusmagazine/>
