Convertibles is the debut studio album by American producer/rapper Chuck Inglish. The album was released on April 8, 2014, through Inglish's own Sounds Like Fun imprint via Dave Sitek's Federal Prism. Co-produced by Inglish and Incubus' Mike Einziger, the 13-track project features collaborations with Chance the Rapper, Action Bronson, BJ the Chicago Kid, Ab-Soul, and Mac Miller amongst others, along with fellow Cool Kids member Sir Michael Rocks and Canadian electro funk duo Chromeo.

Convertibles was preceded by three singles – "Swervin'" featuring Sir Michael Rocks and Polyester the Saint, "Came Thru/Easily" featuring Ab-Soul and Mac Miller, and "Legs" featuring Chromeo.

Upon its release, Convertibles was met with generally positive reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 68, based on 10 reviews. David Jeffries of AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars, saying "If there's a complaint to be made, it's that Convertibles is lightweight when it comes to subject matter, and with the whole whirlwind of influences flying about, the album could be taken as a slick showoff session, but these party songs stick to the bones. Skillfully strung together by ringleader Inglish, these flights of fancy turn into a substantial party album with plenty of fun and flash, so think of a more indie Pharrell or a modern ride through the Pharcyde because Convertibles is that kind of awesome." Ronald Grant of HipHopDX gave the album three and a half exes out of five, saying "Even with many of the compelling and genre-altering moments found on songs like 'Prism', 'Mas o Menos', 'Glam' and 'Dream', and the refreshing old school flavor of songs like 'Money Clip' and 'Game Time', the general lack of cohesion dims Convertibles' overall quality. Pair that with the fact that Inglish has always been known for enjoyably passable but not necessarily elite lyricism, and you're faced with an album that’s fun and even at times challenging, but not as memorable as it should be. But give Inglish kudos for not balking to trends and being ballsy enough to venture far past the predictable and the stale with Convertibles. Frankly, it's a listen that's pretty enjoyable and well rounded. It could just stand to be a more tightly knit as a body of work." Larry Day of The 405 gave the album a 7.5 out of ten, saying "It may be a bit malnourished in thematic ingenuity - it's not as honest as Old or Oxymoron, or as celebratory as Acid Rap - but the allure comes from ingenious, inventive production."
