Production was handled by Carlos Bess, who used samples from "Greedy G" by Brentford All Stars and the 1976 song "Cherchez La Femme" by Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band.[1]

The single peaked at number 98 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the rapper's first entry to the chart as a solo artist. An accompanying music video was directed by Little X.
