How the Album Was Promoted
In August 2002, Cartoon Network helped promote this album. They released three music videos from the soundtrack.
- The first video was for the song "Back to the Lab" by Prince Paul. It first showed on August 16 during Cartoon Network's "Cartoon Cartoon Fridays." That night, the whole show was about Dexter's Laboratory!
- Two more music videos came out later. One was "Dexter (What's His Name?)" by Coolio. The other was "Secrets" by will.i.am.
To get even more people to know about the album, an advertisement for it played before The Powerpuff Girls Movie. You could see this ad in movie theaters and on the DVD and VHS versions of the movie. Ads for the album also appeared in Cartoon Network commercials. They were even in popular hip-hop magazines like The Source and Urb. Other promotions included Dexter's Laboratory trading cards, books, and Game Boy products.
