Da Hood is a Collaboration album by American rappers Mack 10, Deviossi, Skoop Delania, K-Mac, Cousteau and Techniec (together known as Da Hood). It was released July 23, 2002 on Hoo-Bangin' Records. The album was produced by Leslie Brathwaite, Lil Jon, R. Coes, Timbaland and Young Trey. It peaked at number 40 on the Billboard 200, at number 2 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart and at number 9 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. The album features guest performances by Ice Cube, Lil Jon, TQ, Baby, Big Tymers and Timbaland.

Along with a single, a music video was released for the song "Hittin' Switches" and features cameo appearances by Stacey Dash and Layzie Bone.

Allmusic - "Following his first release from Cash Money Records, West Coast rap legend Mack 10 steps into the role of executive on Presents Da Hood... the anthemic "L.A. fo Ya" stands out, as does "Hittin Switches." With all the guests, Mack doesn't give himself as much time on the mic as you might expect. It's therefore best to view Presents da Hood as a stopgap posse spotlight rather than a traditional solo album."

Tower Records - "...Chirpy Funkadelic/Outkast-type beats are much in evidence here, providing a colorful backdrop to Mack 10's familiar but never boring tales on tracks such as "Welcome To the Hood," "Hittin' Switches," and "Life As a Gangster" ("you can hate it but it ain't complicated"), and elevating Presents Da Hood well above the gangsta-rap norm."
