Dusted 'N' Disgusted

Three music videos were produced to promote the album, including a clean video remix version of "Dusted 'n' Disgusted", which features rap verses from E-40, Spice 1, Mac Mall and Celly Cel. The chorus features vocals from Levitti and Suga-T. Celly Cel's verse replaces 2Pac's in the video version of the song as 2Pac was in jail at the time of filming. Richie Rich makes a cameo appearance and says a few words in the early part of the song and is seen wearing a T-shirt that clearly reads: "Free 2Pac". 187 Fac, B-Legit, D-Shot, JT The Bigga Figga, Captain Save 'Em and Funk Mobb also make cameo appearances in the video. The video version of the song is only available on the single release and does not appear on the album.

Along with singles, music videos were also produced for the songs: "1-Luv", featuring Levitti, and "Sprinkle Me", featuring Suga-T.
