Sleepers (album)

Sleepers is the debut solo studio album by American rapper Big Pooh. It was released on February 8, 2005, via 6 Hole Records. Production was handled by 9th Wonder, Khrysis, Big Dho and Nicolay. It features guest appearances from O-Dash, Darien Brockington, Joe Scudda, Median, Murs, Phonte and Spectac, with contributions from KeKe, Tyesha and DJ Flash.

The album followed on the heels of his Little Brother groupmate Phonte's 2004 album with The Foreign Exchange, Connected. It begins with an audio clip from film director Spike Lee's 1988 movie School Daze, and features a few audio excerpts from Christopher Nolan's 2002 film Insomnia throughout the album.

On July 3, 2012, Rapper Big Pooh released Sleepers: The Narcoleptic Outtakes on his label For Members Only, consisting of songs that didn't make the final track listing of Sleepers.
