Ceza initially announced the album with the 5 track long Feyz Al EP in 2005 and the album was released one year later.[1] [2] Album's lead single "Yerli Plaka" featured a music video directed by Thomas Garber.[3] The song became the sixth in MTV Europe's World Chart Express in the week it was released.[4] Second single from the album, "Gelsin Hayat Bildiği Gibi" is a collaboration with Turkish pop singer Sezen Aksu.[5] [6] "Önce Kendine Bak" is a song dedicated to the ethnic minorities of Turkey. "Fark Var" became the main theme song of Adanalı.[7] Its cover was used as a theme song by the Felicity Party and a website titled "farkvar.org" was created for 2009 Turkish local elections.[8] However, Ceza didn't approve the use of his song and sued Felicity Party for 30.000 Turkish liras.[9]
