Informal Introduction is the debut album by Shade Sheist, released on September 10, 2002 through MCA Records.

Due to little promotion, the album was not a commercial success, only reaching No. 69 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. It did, however, feature his biggest hit to date "Where I Wanna Be", which peaked at 95 on the Billboard Hot 100 and 12 on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles. The album spawned three additional singles, "Money Owners", "John Doe" and "Wake Up" all of which became minor hits on the R&B charts.
