Ghetto Hymns is the solo debut studio album by American contemporary R&B singer Dave Hollister. It was released by DreamWorks Records on May 25, 1999 (1999-05-25), in the United States.[1] His first effort (after his success with Blackstreet), the album was co-produced by Hollister and Erick Sermon. It peaked at number 34 on the US Billboard 200.[2]

Three singles were released from the album: "My Favorite Girl", "Can't Stay" and "Baby Mama Drama". "My Favorite Girl" is Hollister's only hit to date on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 39 in 1999.[2] The album was certified gold on March 6, 2000 (2000-03-06).[3] In addition to original songs, the album contains covers of the Michael McDonald song "I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)" and the Twinkie Clark-Terrell song "In Him There is No Sorrow" (listed on the album as "Keep Forgettin'" and "Respect 2 Him", respectively).
