Word...Life is the 1994 debut album from underground Hip Hop artist O.C., who came to prominence in hip hop because of the album. It also helped establish his membership in the legendary Hip Hop crew D.I.T.C., which includes Lord Finesse, Showbiz & A.G., Diamond D, Fat Joe, Big L and Buckwild, who produced the majority of this album.

The album is most remembered because of the single "Time's Up". The instrumental to the track was used for a battle in the hit movie 8 Mile. The song was a scathing accusation, pointed at thug-posturers who were flooding the hip hop scene at the time. Vocal clips from the song have been sampled in numerous hip hop tracks throughout the years; Including Mos Def's 'Hip Hop' off of his 1998 album Black on Both Sides and Big L's 'The Enemy', which appears on his posthumous album The Big Picture.
