Background

Anotha Level was composed of five members, Bambino, Ced Twice, Stenge, Stix and Stones. The group was discovered by Ice Cube, who then got the group a deal with his label Priority Records. The album was executive produced by Ice Cube and Laylaw, with actual production handled by Laylaw, D-Maq and group members Stix and Stones. In addition, Ice Cube was featured on the track "Level-n-Service" and The Pharcyde was featured on "Phat-T".[2]

Despite the involvement from Ice Cube, the album was not a commercial success. It peaked at No. 60 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums on May 28, 1994 and stayed on the chart for nine weeks. It also made it to No. 17 on the Top Heatseekers.[3] The group disbanded later in the year after making their final appearance on the Street Fighter soundtrack.
