The recording sessions took place at Trax Recording Studios in Hollywood. The album was produced by Tim "That Guy" Reid II and Kim "Arabian Prince" Nazel. The album spawned three singles: "She's Got a Big Posse", "Situation Critical" and "Gettin' Down"/"Dope Thang". Its lead single, "She's Got a Big Posse", peaked at number 9 on the Hot Rap Songs.
The album made it to number 193 on the Billboard 200 and at number 55 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in the United States.
The Chicago Tribune wrote that the album "has good moments throughout, [but] suffers from the absence of the brilliant minds in the NWA troop."
