No Way Out is a 1997 debut album by Puff Daddy and the Family. Originally titled Hell Up In Harlem until the The Notorious B.I.G.'s death, the album topped the album charts in the US with 561,000 units sold in its first week of release, debuting at #1. The album won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. The album had two Billboard Hot 100 number one singles, "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" and "I'll Be Missing You," and two number two singles, "Been Around the World" and "It's All about the Benjamins".
