Tell The World My Name is the debut studio album by American rapper K-Solo. It was released on May 22, 1990 via Atlantic Records.[4] Recording sessions took place at Power Play Studios and Northshore Soundworks in New York City. Production was handled entirely by PMD, who also served as executive producer. The album did not reach the Billboard 200, however, it made it to No. 45 on the Top R&B Albums in the United States.

The album was supported by three singles: "Spellbound", "Your Mom's in My Business" and "Fugitive". The song "Spellbound" was later sampled by R&B group Brownstone for their Grammy-nominated 1994 hit song "If You Love Me". Songs like "Spellbound" and "Your Mom's in My Business" proved the growing success of his style.
