As a joint venture between Rocky Road Records, So So Def Recordings and Island Records, it was preceded by the moderately successful singles "Umma Do Me", "Tomorrow", and "Dis Morning". Guest artists include Lloyd, Kevin Cossom, Dre, and Monica, while production was mainly handled by Memphis-based producer Drumma Boy.

It is the first album released by So So Def without direct involvement from label founder Jermaine Dupri.[1]
