Released in early 2004, We Got It 4 Cheap Volume 1 was the first official collection of new material from Clipse since the release of their debut album Lord Willin' in late 2002. It is hosted by prominent mixtape DJ Clinton Sparks, who helped put the mixtape together, at Pusha T's request.[6] While focused primarily on Clipse, the mixtape also introduced Ab-Liva and Sandman, the other half of their group, the Re-Up Gang. They are both heavily featured throughout its twenty-five tracks.
