Gravity is the second and final studio album by American hip-hop group Da Bush Babees, released on October 15, 1996, via Warner Bros. Records.[1][2] The recording sessions took place at Battery Studios in New York City. The album was produced by Mr. Man, Shawn J Period, the Ummah, Charles Harrison, Christopher Harrison, Posdnous, and Rahzel. It features guest appearances from Mos Def, Muntcho Leo, and Nicole "Disco" Johnson.
The album debuted at number 75 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart. Its lead single, "The Love Song", made it to number 66 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, number 74 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, number 89 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs and number 15 on the Hot Rap Songs charts.
Along with fellow Native Tongues cohorts De La Soul's Stakes Is High, Gravity is notable for jump-starting the hip-hop career of Mos Def, who is featured on three tracks on the album ("Intro", "S.O.S." and "The Love Song"). Warner Bros. released the group from its contract after the album ran its course.
