Dirty Harriet is the debut studio album by American rapper Rah Digga.[5][6] It was released via Flipmode/Elektra in 2000.[7] The album went on to sell over 311,000 units in the United States.[8] The album reached number 18 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and number three on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[9]

Critical reception

Entertainment Weekly wrote that "Dirty Harriet's production dream team ... takes a head-spinning tour through rap regionalism, from Southern booty bumps to East Coast Wu-Tangy coffin chillers."[2] Exclaim! thought that the "gritty soundscapes are a potent backdrop to Digga's authoritative sandpaper-rough voice."[10] The Washington Post wrote that "Digga is a punch-line MC who loves to draw out the final jab until it burns like a schoolyard taunt."[11]
