Rick Rock Presents Federation: The Album is the debut studio album by American hip hop group The Federation. It was released on October 5, 2004, via Virgin Records, and was entirely produced by Rick Rock. It also features guest appearances from Daz Dillinger, E-40, and Twista among others. Despite being released for a major label, The album was poorly promoted and was a commercial failure, just managing to reach the bottom of the US Billboard 200 at number 200. The album's two singles, "Hyphy" and "Go Dumb", also failed to find much success, only reaching 88 and 95 respectively on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
The song “Mayhem” was featured on American football video game Madden NFL 2004.
