Ring The Alarm (album)
''Ring the Alarm'' is the second and final album by Philly's Most Wanted (shortened to Philly's Most), released on June 15, 2004, through Universal Records. By the time this album was released, the duo's partnership with production team The Neptunes, who had produced most of their last album, had ended, and The Neptunes did not produce any songs on ''Ring the Alarm''. Instead, production was handled by various producers. The album was poorly promoted and only reached 70 on the ''Billboard'' Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. The album's only single, also titled "Ring the Alarm", did not reach the ''Billboard'' charts. After the album ran its course, Philly's Most Wanted disbanded with no further releases.

The latter song peaked at #98 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and 3 on the ''Billboard'' Hot Rap Singles. Their debut album, '' Get Down or Lay Down'', however, was delayed for over a year, finally being released on August 7, 2001. Despite production from The Neptunes, the album failed commercially, only reaching No. 69 on the ''Billboard'' 200 majorly due to the fact that BET refused to support their video for Cross the Border which contributed to the end of the duo as well. After both The Neptunes and Atlantic Records severed ties with them, the duo shortened their name to Philly's Most and released a second album entitled ''Ring the Alarm ...
