Due to the success and fanfare of 2022's "Word...Life (Instrumentals)" , it only seemed right to feed the demand for the full instrumentals to O.C. 's classic 1997 sophomore album, "Jewelz" . Sought after by DITC fans worldwide, for the first time in 26 years, the complete collection of instrumentals is now available. Prior to this, there was only a vinyl bootleg floating around that was released over 20 years ago, which only featured some of the instrumentals that had been released on 12" singles plus some fake 'looped' beats from the album which were not the actual instrumentals with the drops, changes and arrangements. This release features the complete instrumental set for the album, in their full, authentic glory. Jewelz (Instrumentals) by O.C.
