The World is Yours is a second studio album by Malaysian hip-hop group, Poetic Ammo, released on 10 July 2000 by Positive Tone and EMI Music Malaysia. Five singles were released from the album, with "Who Be the Player" released as its lead single.
The album was recorded primarily at Playtime Studios and Synchrosound Studios in Kuala Lumpur. Unlike their debut album It's a Nice Day to Be Alive (1998), The World is Yours does not contains any interludes and outtakes. While most of the songs in the album were recorded primarily in English, Poetic Ammo recorded only one track in Malay, entitled "Tiada Tandingan", featuring guest vocal by Sheila Majid, who sang chorus and bridge.
The album also features a cover version of American singer Rockwell's 1983 single, "Somebody's Watching Me", which they contributed rap while Singaporean singer, Ferhad sang chorus and bridge. Adibah Noor provided guest vocal on "There is No Stoppin' Us" and also provided backing vocal on "Tiada Tandingan". They were also joined by several musicians including Jamie Wilson on guitars, Pacai on bass and Luke Mason on drums. The album was mixed by Nicholas "Big Nick" Blassband, Paul "Mad Stacz" Morrison and Yogi B and mastered by Bernie Grundman in the United States. The World is Yours is the last album Poetic Ammo recorded and released with its two original members, Landslyde and C. Loco prior to their departure from the group in early 2001.
The cover art photography for the album was taken by Malaysian photographer, Simon Chin and designed by Suzanne Kong, while the cartoon illustration was made by Malaysian manga comic artist Lim Vui Seng.
The album was released on 10 July 2000 and become a commercial success. "Who Be the Player" was the first single from the album and previously released as part of the Tricks & Tales compilation album in 1998.
