Pre-Life Crisis is the debut album by the American rapper and musician Count Bass D, released in 1995.[1][2] Count Bass D played the majority of the instruments on the album.[3] The album's only single, "Sandwiches (I Got a Feeling)", received moderate radio and video airplay, in addition to being released on vinyl and CD, along with the B-side "T-Boz Tried to Talk to Me".
Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club describes Pre-Life Crisis as "one of the strangest major-label rap albums of all time," but note that the rapper was dropped by Sony following its release.[4]

The International Herald Tribune noted that Count Bass D's "raps are hard-hitting but mellifluous, minimum-expletive and laugh-sprinkled."[7] In 2003, Rolling Stone wrote that the "hyperquirky debut ... imagined an esoteric, fully live hip-hop wonder world that transcended the generic boombap."[8]
