State Property is the soundtrack to the 2002 film of the sane name, as well as the debut studio album by the rap group of the sane name. Selling 51,500 copies in its first week, the album was a success, making it to 14 on the Billboard 200, 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and 2 on the Top Soundtracks, and spawned one single "Roc the Mic", which was a minor hit, making it to 55 on the Billboard Hot 100. The remix to "Roc The Mic" features St. Louis rappers Nelly & Murphy Lee of the St. Lunatics and was included on rapper Nelly's 2002 album, "Nellyville" as a radio-only single.

The album features a sole guest appearance by R&B singer Rell, who played 'Butter' in the film.
