Smif 'n' Wessun: Reloaded is the third album from the duo of Tek and Steele, formerly known as Cocoa Brovaz. The duo unofficially returned with their original name, Smif-N-Wessun, a name which they were forced to change after a lawsuit with the Smith & Wesson firearms company in 1995. The album features guest appearances from the entire Boot Camp Clik, Dead Prez and Talib Kweli, and production from The X-Ecutioners' Roc Raida, Khrysis, Coptic and Da Beatminerz.
The album was the last release in Duck Down Records 2005 "Triple Threat Campaign", following Sean Price's Monkey Barz and Buckshot & 9th Wonder's Chemistry.
