Pregnant with Success is the debut studio album by American rapper Junglepussy.[2] It was released on November 17, 2015.[3] It is a follow-up to her 2014 mixtape, Satisfaction Guaranteed.[4] The production was handled by Shy Guy, Cousin Gabriel, Matt Parad, and Dubbel Dutch.[5]
Junglepussy described it as "an ode to my mother, to all mothers, to anyone who's ever planted a seed, to anyone who's ever created something, to anyone who's ever waited patiently for something to come into fruition."[6]

Anupa Mistry of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.5 out of 10, calling it "another reminder of how humor can bring the audience closer and form an emotional connection."[7] She compared the album to Paul Beatty's 2015 novel The Sellout, saying, "It's as bright as Beatty's novel is dark, but they're both charmingly demented, sharp-witted, and necessary social critiques."[7]
