[edit] Trivia
- The original title for the album was "Personality Change". This can be heard in the beginning and at the end of the first single I'm A Hustla.
- Don Ferquan confirmed through Myspace that "Can't Fade Me" would have been a single.
- In the title track for the album (which was also the first single) I'm A Hustla, Cassidy says "Yeah, I used dude's voice, props to the boy Shawn/he made it a hot line, I made it a hot song." Jay-Z, whose voice was sampled for the song's chorus, says something similar in the song "Takeover" from Jay-Z's Blueprint album. He says, about Nas, "Yeah, I sampled your voice, you was using it wrong/you made it a hot line, I made it a hot song." Also in the song, Cassidy says "I could sell Raid to a bug/ I'm a hustla, I could sell salt to a slug." Jay-Z says something similar on the song "U Don't Know", also from Blueprint, in which he says "I'll sell ice in the winter, fire in Hell/I'm a hustla, baby, I could sell water to a whale."
- "C-Bonics" also appears on the Soudtrack for the movie What We Do as "Bionics".
