Six Figures is the second solo studio album by American rapper D-Shot. It was released on July 29, 1997, via Shot/Jive Records. Recording sessions took place at The Mob Shop in Vallejo, Boss Studios in San Francisco Bay Area and K-Lou Studios in Richmond. Production was handled by Femi Ojetunde, Levitti, Studio Ton, and D-Shot himself, who also served as executive producer. It features guest appearances from E-40, Levitti, B-Legit, Bo-Roc, Celly Cel, Kaveo, Mac Shawn, Mr. Malik, Spice 1 and Too $hort. The album debuted at number 81 on the Billboard 200 and number 21 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums in the United States.

The album spawned two singles: "(I'll Be Yo') Huckleberry" and "True Worldwide Playaz". The song "(I'll Be Yo') Huckleberry" was originally heard in the 1997 film Booty Call, and was also released as a single to promote the film's soundtrack album. Both singles were later included on the 1999 compilation album Sick Wid It's Greatest Hits.

== Critical reception ==

AllMusic – "...Six Figures, offers enough straight hardcore dope to make it worthwhile for any gangsta aficionado. D-Shot's rhyming is deft, and even if he simply recycles gangsta themes, he does it well... it's still a strong listen, filled with hard grooves and harder rhyming".

Rap Pages – "...Not only does D-Shot raise his own status and that of some lesser known Bay Area rappers, he corrals some of the Bay's best R&B voices..."
