Get Ready! (2 Unlimited album)
Get Ready! is the first studio album by 2 Unlimited, a Eurodance project founded in 1991 by Belgian producers Jean-Paul DeCoster and Phil Wilde and fronted by Dutch rapper Ray Slijngaard and Dutch vocalist Anita Doth.
Release and reception
The exclamation mark was dropped for the US and UK releases of Get Ready!
The album reached #12 in the Netherlands and #37 in the UK.
Despite the moderate chart success, 2 Unlimited was one of the few Dutch bands to gain access to the difficult American market. Although peaking at just #197 on the Billboard 200, the album still proved consistent in sales, eventually going Gold for sales in excess of 500,000.
Content
The original album is divided in three parts: Vocal, Instrumental and Romantic. The US and UK versions of the album deleted most of the instrumental tracks in favor of two extended versions of the main singles. The US and Canadian versions of Get Ready! contained the track "Pacific Walk" which was omitted from the European releases.

Get Ready (Mase song)
"Get Ready" was the only single released from Mase's second album, Double Up. It was released on May 25, 1999, produced by Sean "Puffy" Combs, Teddy Riley and Andreao "Fanatic" Heard" and featured R&B group, Blackstreet, it contains a sample of "A Night to Remember", performed by Shalamar.
"Get Ready" was Mase's poorest performing single, due in large part to the fact that the rapper retired from music before the song's official release and did not promote or perform the song publicly. It failed to match the success as his previous three singles, only making it to 25 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles (125 on the U.S. Charts) and #50 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks.

Get Ready
by: Virtue(Chorus)
Get ready, Get Ready, Get ready
for your change to come (4x's)
(Verse 1)
Have you ever experienced trouble in your way?
Then you know what I'm talking about
When you hear me say, sometimes
(Pre-Chorus 1)
Sometimes I hardly see my way (When the pressures
of life wear me down)
But one day I heard a preacher say (When the Devil is
messin', here comes your blessin' so)
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
If the road your traveling gets a little rough
And you gave everything you had
Just to keep your head above the water
If you're in his perfect will
Listen to me now
Dont throw in the towel
(Pre-Chorus 2)
Sometimes it's gonna be that way (Your heart starts to
ach and no one is shaken)
God is standing by, by (What you're going through is
only to bless you)
