Wall also had health problems due to his morbid obesity, weighing over 320 pounds (150 kg).

After trying to lose weight in a number of ways, Wall eventually undertook a surgery, commenting that it "took [him] to a whole 'nother place and it really saved [his] life.

"[2] After that he decided to start over his career and with the help of his friend Slim Thug created his own independent label Paul Wall Music.

Wall declined several offers from other labels, in order to develop his music style and fan base.

The album had guest appearances from frequent collaborators Lil' Keke and Slim Thug, as well as rappers Kid Ink, YG and Young Dolph, among others.
