Paid the Cost is the only studio album by American rap duo Penthouse Players Clique. It was released on April 28, 1992, via Ruthless Records and Priority Records. The recording sessions took place at Skip Saylor Recording Studio A in Los Angeles, with additional recording at Audio Achievements in Torrance, California. The album was produced by DJ Quik, except for two tracks that were produced by Penthouse Players Clique and DJ Battlecat. The album peaked at No. 76 on the Billboard 200, No. 28 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and No. 1 on the Heatseekers Albums charts. Three singles were released, "Explanation of a Playa", "Trust No Bitch" and "P.S. Phuk U 2", however only "Explanation of a Playa" would make it to the Billboard charts. This would mark the duos' only album as they would disband a year later.
