Just Gettin' It On is the re-released debut album by American rapper Playa Fly, originally recorded in 1995 under his previous moniker, "Lil' Fly." The album was officially re-released on April 1, 1999, through Diamond Records and 404 Music Group, with an additional bonus track titled "Fuck a Wanna Be." The album showcases Playa Fly's signature Memphis rap style, incorporating Southern rap and underground hip-hop elements, which were instrumental in shaping his early career.

Background

Before adopting the name Playa Fly, the artist was known as Lil' Fly, and much of this album reflects his early influences and collaborations with Memphis rap artists. Just Gettin' It On includes gritty, raw lyrics combined with a mix of laid-back and aggressive production. The tracks feature contributions from fellow Memphis artists such as Gangsta Blac, Bill Chill, and Playa Posse, highlighting the collaborative spirit of the local rap scene during the 1990s.

The album was originally recorded at Freetoes Productions in 1995, during Playa Fly's affiliation with the Triple 6 Mafia collective. However, by the time of the re-release, Fly had already parted ways with the group and established himself as an independent artist.
