All scratching on the album was done by D-Styles.

Reception

In 2008, Vibe chose the album as one of the "24 Lost Rap Classics", noting that "his adenoidal flow, a breathless bundle of consonants and exclamation points, will challenge anyone looking to tune the MC out."[5]

In 2015, HipHopDX named it one of the "30 Best Underground Hip Hop Albums Since 2000".[6]
