Background
The album was produced by Beats by the Pound. It features guest appearances from 241, Big Ed, C-Murder, Fiend, Full Blooded, Ghetto Commission, KLC, Mac, Magic, Master P, Mia X, Mo B. Dick, Mr. Serv-On, Mystikal, O'Dell, Porsha, QB, Silkk the Shocker and Snoop Dogg. The album peaked at number 17 on the Billboard 200 and number 3 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart selling 160,000 copies in its first week. The tracks "Studio B" and "Childhood Years" were released as promotional singles.
Reviews
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic described the project as "filled with cheaply made, bass-heavy jams" created by formula with "little or no imagination to the lyrical ideas", and delivered by rappers without "verbal dexterity". Erlewine said that the only reason that the album sold so many copies was because No Limit promoted it relentlessly prior to release. The result was "truly unremarkable" music revealing the "lameness" of the project.
