The recording sessions took place between July 1992 and February 1993 at Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco, California.

The album was produced by Casual and fellow Hieroglyphics Crew members Domino, Del the Funky Homosapien, and Jay-Biz.

Cheo Hodari Coker of Vibe said, "Casual's braggadocious, rip-roaring flow is fortified by upright bass lines, serpentine jazz/funk horns, and thunderous drum kicks".

[6] The Los Angeles Times wrote that "Casual's zippy, improvisational style is backed by nifty, jazzed-up funk beats.

"[3] AllMusic's Chris Witt commended Casual for his lyrical abilities, noting how the MC "produces an unending and seemingly unstoppable flow of boasts and taunts", and also remarking that "the simplicity of his message belies the complexity of his vicious wordplay".
