Self Made is the only studio album by American rapper Rocko, released on March 18, 2008. As a joint venture between Rocky Road Records, So So Def Recordings and Island Records, it was preceded by the moderately successful singles "Umma Do Me", "Tomorrow", and "Dis Morning". Guest artists include Lloyd, Kevin Cossom, Dre, and Monica, while production was mainly handled by Memphis-based producer Drumma Boy. The album received generally unfavorable critical response, citing Rocko's lack of identity or originality.

It is the first album released by So So Def without direct involvement from label founder Jermaine Dupri.

Commercial performance

The album debuted at number 21 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 70,000 copies in its first week.
