Must B 21 (Soundtrack to Get Things Started) is the second solo studio album by American musician will.i.am. It was released on September 23, 2003 via Will.i.am Music Group and Barely Breaking Even. Produced by will.i.am himself together with Printz Board, it features guest appearances from Supernatural, Dante Santiago, Flii, John Legend, Planet Asia, Krondon, KRS-One, MC Lyte, Niu, Phife Dawg, Phil Da Agony, Tash and Triple 7, as well as his Black Eyed Peas groupmates Fergie and Taboo.
Background
The album itself is a collection of material recorded by Adams during the creation of the Black Eyed Peas album Elephunk. The project marked Adams' last release as a solo artist for over four years, until his third album Songs About Girls was released in late 2007. The album was originally only available on vinyl, but a CD and digital release followed in December 2003. Track seventeen on the release, "Go!", was used in the video games NBA Live 2005 and Madden NFL 2005. A video for the track was also recorded for use within the games; however, no official singles were released from the album. The artwork for the album was designed by Shepard Fairey.
