World Ultimate is the first studio album by American hip hop group The Nonce. It was released by American Recordings and Wild West Records on February 28, 1995. "Bus Stops" reached number 44 on the Hot Rap Singles chart.
Glen Sansone of CMJ New Music Monthly gave the album a favorable review and said, "World Ultimate tips its cap to both L.L. Cool J and MC Shan, while joining loose, outgoing B-Boy posturing with old-school beats jacketed in an ethereal coating, as on 'Mix Tapes.'"
Matt Welty of Complex commented that "MCs Nouka Basetype (who would later go by Sach) and Yusef Afloat came together with their conscious perspectives to rap over jazzy instrumentation about everything from taking the bus to the issues plaguing hip-hop."
In 2012, it was listed by Fact as one of the "Most Overlooked Hip-Hop LPs of the 90s".
