Diary of a Sinner: 1st Entry is the debut studio album by American rapper Petey Pablo, released in November 6, 2001. The album debuted at number 13 on the Billboard 200 chart with first-week sales of 103,000 copies in the US and was certified Gold by the RIAA. It was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 45th Annual Grammy Awards, but lost to Eminem's album The Eminem Show.

The lead single, "Raise Up", made it to No. 25 on the Hot 100. There is a remix called "Raise Up [All Cities remix]" which is similar to the original, starting off with North Carolina, except that he shouts out other cities such as New Orleans, Las Vegas, New York City, Los Angeles, etc.
