Thy Kingdom Come is the fifth studio album by West Coast hip hop artist King T. It was released on August 6, 2002[2] on Greedy Green Entertainment and Mo Beatz. The album was originally titled The Kingdom Come and was slated for a release on June 30, 1998, on Aftermath Entertainment. The 1998 version was to be King Tee's first release of new material in three years after allying with Dr. Dre and appearing on his compilation, . King Tee's album was later put on hold. His shelved album had already been rated three and a half stars out of five by The Source, which was "not good enough" for Dr. Dre,[3] but King Tee maintained a positive relationship with Dr. Dre. He even appeared on Dr. Dre's album, 2001, in 1999. By 2002, The Kingdom Come was released to mixed opinions and was a commercial failure. It had no charting singles, and it did not chart as an album. The album has been released in some places under the original name "Thy Kingdom Come" with an alternative album cover. The song "Speak On It" also appeared on , an album by King T's protégé Young Maylay.
Despite its challenging history of release and commercial success, it is officially available on streaming, under the original name King Tee.
On the 2002 release of The Kingdom Come, many song and personnel names are spelled differently:
There are two tracks on the original track listing that did not get released on the CD in 2002: "Got It Locked", "That's Drama". There was also a song around called "The Future", which used the same beat as the song "Xxplosive" from Dr. Dre's album, 2001.The 2002 release differs from the 1998 version, it contains 5 more tracks: "6 N 'Na Moe'nin", "Step On By", "Big Ballin'", "Where's T" and "The Original". Also the Track "2 G's From Compton" was in the 1998 version listed as "It's Where Ya From" and "Tha Game" was called "It's Ruff" previously. The two Interluldes "Drive By (Interlude)" and "Psychic Pimp (Interlude)" have been erased on the 2002 version. "Psychic Pimp (Interlude)" somehow later appeared on The D.O.C.'s 2003 album "Deuce". The Interlude later appeared on an Aftermath Entertainment sampler as "Psychic Pimp Hotline".
