Background

In the song "P.A.N.", Cash criticizes bubblegum rap. Also, Cash insinuates that his label Ghet-O-Vision Entertainment and Sony Urban Music before the album's release showed that "it doesn't know what to do with him". The song, "Bumpin' My Music" and album both reflect a hardcore image of hip-hop. On his debut album, he calls out a number of his inspirations in the album.
