Chyna Doll by Foxy Brown

Chyna Doll is the second studio album by American rapper Foxy Brown. It was released on January 26, 1999 by Violator Records and Def Jam Recordings. After the commercial success of her debut album, Ill Na Na (1996), Brown began working on her second record. This time, she insisted on being the executive producer to have a creative control over the album. She collaborated with a number of producers, such as Kanye West, D-Dot, Irv Gotti, Lil Rob, Swizz Beatz and Tyrone Fyffe, among others. Upon its release, Chyna Doll received mixed reviews from music critics. It debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, making it the second rap album by a female artist to debut at number one on the chart (first being The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (1998) by Lauryn Hill). The album was a commercial success. Selling 173,000 copies in its opening week, it was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
