Opposite of H2O is the debut album by the rapper Drag-On.[5] It was released in 2000 through Ruff Ryders/Interscope.[6] It was produced by Swizz Beatz, Dj Iroc, and P.K., among others. The album proved to be a huge success for Drag-On, peaking at number 5 on the Billboard 200 and number 2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

Critical reception[]

Rolling Stone wrote that "on the darker songs, [Drag-On's] monotone rides stealthily over the album's dismal grooves, casting a morbid spell, and, ironically, when he and DMX actually collaborate, on the invigorating 'Get It Right', Drag more than holds his own."[7]
