Warriorz is the fourth full-length album released by M.O.P., an African-American hip hop group consisting of rappers Billy Danze and Li'l Fame. This album spawned the radio hit "Ante Up," which subsequently spawned a remix. Despite the growing popularity of M.O.P., this album marked its last major-label-affiliated release as Loud Records folded in 2002.
