Jewelz is the second album by the rapper O.C.. Unlike his debut, 1994's Word...Life, Jewelz features a wider number of guest producers and rappers. Producer DJ Premier (who also oversaw and mixed other parts of the album) lends his hand on four songs, while Buckwild, Da Beatminerz and O.Gee all drop three songs each. D.I.T.C. members Showbiz and Lord Finesse each contribute one number and as the album was released the production was highly praised for its clean, crispy but at the same time dark and menacing sound.
O.C. plays with a wide array of styles on the album, from the war-metaphor battle song "War Games" to abstract stories on the haunting "The Crow" and a very special history on a mystique woman that enters Credles life in "Stronjay". Though the differences between O.C.'s two first efforts are very noticeable many fans are constantly, and still, arguing which was the better album out of them.
This album, like his first, received strong reviews, but lacked in sales. He made his first appearance on the Billboard 200 album chart with the album, and also made his first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, with the single "Far From Yours". The album is now out of print.

Plot: A naturally talented basketball player, Noah Cruise is determined to become a doctor using his basketball scholarship to UCLA pre-med, rather than succumb to the lure of former sports agent Vaughn and go for the NBA. His best friend, the buddy that took the fall for him and did the time for an assault charge, Tech, also an outstanding basketball player, has less lofty ambitions: he wants to get his GED and win an underground street ball game against his arrogant rival, Jewelz. Their lives change drastically when they both fall in love with two local girls, Vanessa Lilly and Eboni Jackson, and take fateful trip out to L.A. together.

Ha, what yeah
Diggin in the crates ya'
Come on, come on, come on
Uhh, yeah, Lord Finesse ya'
Check it yeah, uhh, check it out
Check it out
Yo, my movement motion
Smooth or rough as the ocean
Sometimes, it slip away and I lose devotion
My judgement get cloudy
Then I wanna get rowdy
Like Arabia
Terrorize like Saudi Arabia
My avons reflects my mood swing
Switch colors like a mood ring
Wifey telling me good things
So, I won't strain
Got grey hairs and only been here 25 years
Shed tears for niggaz, I knew for life, now lifeless
When you died to us, was like the Iranian crisis
I took it hard, like a flick slow mo' breathing
Prophetize dot of a book, summer night's dreaming
Semi-wet as I write this, dragging the cancer sticks
Smoke thick, Hennessey shots to my wig
Half naked while I jot this
Lounging in my boxers
Dreaming Tahiti, even settle for the Bahamas
I get a boner
When I'm asleep dreaming that I'm louging on a yaucht
(Chillin' in the sun)
Bom bout the leave the docks, reality I wake up to
Feels like I woked up to a cloud filled room with angel dust
It's just the
Stress, frust, make me wanna bust
Make me wanna cuss
I lust for living a life, a righteousness
With invisible forces stand in my way
Keeping my mind off course
I'm searching for the light like Noah
The flame combust
Upon the bush, forseeing my future like the Nova
Pushing for the brighter side of living a life
A better time, pouring rhymes like wine
Till my cup run it over
Temptation on my shoulder
I'm growing colder than a polar bear
Thinking about a bank hold up
I fall upon my lap and rest my head, upon my knee caps
Is it a crime that I be dreaming about the G's black?
Freeze for a minute, gotta take control of my life
Gotta hold it like a knife
Must have more then a slice you know
Frustration, mental masturbation
(Confusion)
Life is love living till I'm right be in a illusion
Seclusion, seeing me is rare
I rather attain stacks mack the islands on a plane ready for lift off
And spend grands, sipping exotic juice
Laying in the shade and shores
At a fly resort, on my cell contact the D I T C cohorts
Talking to the God Finesse
We tight like Indians with a Mohawk and so on
Conversation going on, do the math
Dreaming I leave the, champagne bubble bath
Reality I wake up to
Feels like I woked up to a cloud filled room with angel dust
It's just the
Stress, frust, make me wanna bust
Make me wanna cuss
I lust for living a life, a righteousness
With invisible forces stand in my way
Keeping my mind off course
Stress, frust, make me wanna bust
Make me wanna cuss
I lust for living a life, a righteousness
With invisible forces stand in my way
Keeping my mind off course
(Your working hard for the dough)
But time seem to go slow
Busting your ass to go from a amatuer to a pro
Low budget feeling inside no more can you score
Bad and good fight inside just like a war
(Slavery later foundation for my nation
Centuries before Final Call be the New World Order)
2 K's on it's way, no time for play
So, I pray to God, got me on a path of righteuos ways
Even though I get stressed, and frustrated
The best time for me to bless a rhyme
Is to put the pen through a test
(Yeah, I want the riches, the misses on my side on a pool
With the night, when blitzed and magic like a grand wizard)
Official O C, a two syllable sound
Three six incomplete like the earth was round
And on that note keep hope alive, striving to rise
From the inner soul
Seeing through the eyes of a crow you know
Slow pacing walk forth is only right
Seperating the cause
From another man far from yours
(Going for mine, still coming off a two year hiatus)
And in that time nigga's bit my shit like alligators
It's alright though this rap shit is stress for us
It makes you feel like your in a hallway robust with angel dust
Reality I wake up to, my old dad once told me
"How you live your life is all on you, son"
Stress, frust, make me wanna bust
Make me wanna cuss
I lust for living a life, a righteousness
With invisible forces stand in my way
Keeping my mind off course
Stress, frust, make me wanna bust
Make me wanna cuss
I lust for living a life, a righteousness
With invisible forces stand in my way
