On Top of da World is the debut solo studio album by American rapper Lil Italy. It was released on August 3, 1999 via No Limit Records. Recording sessions took place at K-Lou Studios in Richmond, California and at No Limit Studios in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Production was handled by K-Lou, KLC, Ricky "Gold Fingers" Rivera, Carlos "C-Los Beats" Stephens, Charles Doyle Leonard and Poorman Dre, with Master P serving as executive producer. This is the last no limit album with any production from beats by the pound. They would leave in July 1999
The record was a commercial disappointment, peaking at #99 on the Billboard 200 and #20 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and resulted in Lil Italy being dropped from the label. The album was also a critical disappointment, with Michael Gallucci of AllMusic rated the album two out of five stars, writing that it "has no personality, not one distinguishing mark to separate it from the rest of the [No Limit] army."
