[11] Because of video releases like Guess Who's Coming 2 Dinner which spoofed many mainstream hip hop artists, James' music has been described as controversial and sometimes offensive.

[14] The mixtape included collaborations from Curren$y (courtesy of Warner Bros. Records), Ebony Eyez,[15] and Babs Bunny (formally of Sean "Diddy" Combs) founded group, Da Band.

Because of the momentum the Switch video gained the day of its release, Timbaland viewed it online and in less than 24 hours, flew James to Miami's Hit Factory Studio to work with her on her next project, The Coronation.

The Coronation also featured production from Mizay Entertainment's Lex Luger, Maybach Music Group's Yung Shun, Heartbeatz, Casa Di, Versive Manhattan, Serious Beats, Da Smokestarz, among others.

In August 2012 it was announced by DJ Skee, Sirius Satellite Radio Host, that the first release from The Coronation entitled NO LOVE produced by MMG's Young Shun was the #9 most requested song in the country.

[25] The Coronation's second release, Lil Kim produced by Casa Di gained recognition as well as being featured on both The Source and The Fader Magazines websites.
