School Dayz is the only studio album by American Oakland-based 13-years-old rapper Baby DC. It was released on July 27, 1999[2] through $hort Records, a Too $hort's vanity label on Jive Records. Production was handled by Ant Banks, Taj "Mahal" Tilghman, Jay Mac, Jazze Pha, Larry "Rock" Campbell, Quint Black and Spearhead X, with Paul Brown and Too $hort serving as executive producers. It features guest appearances from Imajin, Ant Banks, E-40, Lil' Rakim and Too $hort, with cameos from Ice Cube, Kid Capri and Snoop Dogg.
School Dayz was released before So So Def's Lil' Bow Wow and No Limit's Lil Soldiers and Lil Romeo were releasing charting albums. However, due to limited promotion, School Dayz did not reach any Billboard charts. However, the single "Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll" did make it to both the R&B and rap charts.[2]
