Active Duty (album)

[1][2] This is Hammer's first studio album since Inside Out (1995), excluding his unreleased Death Row debut Too Tight (1996) and the limited release gospel double album Family Affair (1998).

Following the September 11 attacks, Hammer released this album on his own World Hit Music Group label (the music enterprise under his Hammertime Holdings Inc. umbrella) to pay homage to the ones lost in the terrorist attacks.

One of the album's singles was "Pop Yo Collar", which was a popular "buzzword/catchphrase" during this period.

Hammer did however promote it on shows such as The View, and produced a music video for both singles.

[6][7] Hammer shot the video for the anthem "No Stoppin' Us (USA)" in Washington, D.C., on October 3, 2001, with several members of the United States Congress, who sang in the song and danced in the music video.
