Word...Life is the debut album from hip-hop artist O.C. It was released on October 18, 1994 by Wild Pitch Records. It also helped establish his membership in the legendary hip-hop crew D.I.T.C., which includes Lord Finesse, Showbiz and A.G., Diamond D, Fat Joe, Big L and Buckwild, who produced the majority of this album.

The album is most remembered because of the single "Time's Up". The instrumental to the track was used in the movie 8 Mile, starring rapper Eminem, in a rap battle scene. The song was a scathing accusation, pointed at thug-posturers who were flooding the hip-hop scene at the time.
