Thy Kingdom Come is the fifth album of new material by West Coast hip hop artist King Tee. It was released in 2002 by Greedy Green Entertainment and Mo Beatz, but was originally slated for a release on June 30, 1998 by Aftermath Entertainment. The 1998 release contains all of the same tracks as the 2002 release, but the 2002 has different song titles and is known as The Kingdom Come. The 1998 release was to be King Tee's first release of new material in three years after allying with Dr. Dre and appearing on his compilation, Dr. Dre Presents...The Aftermath. King Tee was supposed to be a premier artist of Dre's Aftermath label, but when Universal Records bought half of Aftermath Entertainment, King Tee's album was put on hold. His shelved album had already been rated three and a half stars out of five by The Source, which was "not good enough" for Dr. Dre,[1] but Tee maintained a positive relationship with Dre. He even appeared on Dre's album, 2001, in 1999. By 2002, Thy Kingdom Come was released to mixed opinions and was a commercial failure. It had no charting singles, and it did not chart as an album. Also, it is the only album released by Aftermath as of 2006 not to go at least Gold.[1]
