It was released on April 27, 1993, via Def Jam Recordings/Columbia Records/Sony Music Entertainment, a year after the breakup of 3rd Bass.

Production was handled by Pete Nice, DJ Richie Rich, The Beatnuts, KMD, and Sam Sever of Downtown Science.

It spawned two singles and corresponding music videos for "Rat Bastard" and "Kick the Bobo," both of which were apparent disses aimed at MC Serch.

The "Rat Bastard" video starts with a scene reminiscent of the 1987 film The Untouchables, where Pete Nice is depicted beating an MC Serch lookalike to death with a baseball bat.

The video for "Kick the Bobo" starts out as a recreation of a scene from the 1983 film Scarface, with Pete Nice talking to a Tony Montana lookalike.
