4:21 ...The Day After is the fourth solo album by the American rapper and Wu-Tang Clan member Method Man. It was released on August 29, 2006, by Def Jam Recordings, to mostly positive reviews. The album has guest appearances by Fat Joe, Styles P, Redman and various Wu-Tang Clan members. It was produced by RZA, Havoc, Kwamé, Erick Sermon and Scott Storch, among others. U-God appears in the song "The Glide" but is not credited.

Background

In regard to RZA's contributions to the album, Method Man explained, "RZA was the first name I said when I spoke to Jay-Z, when he signed off on the album budget. I’m happy with the outcome, but I think RZA could have had a little bit more input, but he was busy at the time." "This is just more RZA on production, shit like that. But some of the shit I couldn't do, because some of these producers were screaming out these niggas want a $100,000 for a track. Fuck that! Kiss my ass. I'm not paying nobody a $100,000 for shit, unless I can live in that mothafucka."

Method Man explained the album's title: "The national weed smoking day is 4/20, so I named my album 4/21 the day after. Because after that day, you have this moment of clarity when you’re not high and you see things clearly."

Commercial performance

4:21... The Day After* debuted at number 8 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 62,000 copies in its first week. It was Method Man's fifth consecutive Top 10 album in the United States, counting his previous solo albums and the collaboration Blackout! with Redman.
