Creep Wit' Me is the debut album by East Coast hip hop duo Ill Al Skratch. It was released on August 2, 1994 by Mercury Records. It features slow and smooth production from The LG Experience and LoRider, as well as light party rhymes. It was Ill Al Skratch's most commercially successful album peaking at #137 on the Billboard 200. The album became an underground hit despite limited promotion from Mercury Records. It contains three singles: "Where My Homiez? (Come Around My Way)," "I'll Take Her" and "Chill with That." The first of the three was a major underground hit that managed to reach #34 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart & No. 5 on the Billboard Hip-Hip Singles chart. The single became a club anthem & put the duo on the map in a crowded 1994 hip-hop landscape. It was soon followed by their biggest commercial hit "I'll Take Her," a single that featured R&B singer Brian McKnight and reached the Billboard Hot 100. Both singles became staples in BET’s Rap City as well as MTV Jams. Both singles are considered hip-hop classics.
