Cryptic Collection Vol. 3

Cryptic Collection 3 (abbreviated as CC3) is the third compilation album of Cryptic Collection series by American hip hop duo Twiztid. It was released on May 18, 2004 through Psychopathic Records and consists of nine previously unreleased tracks and five remixes, including a "surprisingly faithful" cover of the Steve Miller Band's "The Joker". AllMusic's reviewer Johnny Loftus wrote "The song is likely a coded reference to those obsessed-over joker cards. But it's nice to think of Twiztid as regular-guy Michiganders, singing karaoke at the local sports bar".
