- Jewelz is the second album by the rapper O.C. Unlike his debut, 1994's Word...Life, Jewelz features a wider number of guest producers and rappers. Producer DJ Premier (who also oversaw and mixed other parts of the album) lends his hand on four songs, while Buckwild, Da Beatminerz and O.Gee all drop three songs each. D.I.T.C. members Showbiz and Lord Finesse each contribute one number and as the album was released the production was highly praised for its clean, crispy but at the same time dark and menacing sound. O.C. plays with a wide array of styles on the album, from the war-metaphor battle song "War Games" to abstract stories on the haunting "The Crow" and a very special history on a mystique woman that enters Credle's life in "Stronjay". Though the differences between O.C.'s two first efforts are very noticeable many fans are constantly, and still, arguing which was the better album out of them. This album, like his first, received strong reviews, but lacked in sales. He made his first appearance on the Billboard 200 album chart with the album, and also made his first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, with the single "Far From Yours". The album is now out of print. As part of the concept for Jewelz, the CD was sold with different colored disc art inspired by the color palette of various jewels. (en)
- Jewelz est le deuxième album studio d'O.C., sorti le 19 août 1997. L'album s'est classé 16e au Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums et 90e au Billboard 200. Le disque a été commercialisé en différentes couleurs de la palette des pierres précieuses pour illustrer le titre de l'opus, Jewelz, qui peut être traduit par « gemme » ou « bijou ». (fr)

Collaborano al disco, tra gli altri, anche Big L, Freddie Foxxx, Roc Raida e gli Organized Konfusion, mentre alle produzioni spiccano artisti di alto livello quali DJ Premier, Buckwild, Da Beatminerz, Showbiz e Lord Finesse. Non essendo un rapper che punta al successo commerciale, Jewelz è l'unico prodotto nella carriera solista di O.C. ad entrare nella Billboard 200, salendo fino alla novantesima posizione. (it)
