[1][2] Production was handled by Travis Barker, Beanz & Kornbread, Da Shit Factory and Young Chill, with G-Dash and Michael "5000" Watts serving as executive producers.

It features guest appearances from Andre Nickatina, Bun B, Chamillionaire, C.Stone, Dallas Blocker, Devin the Dude, Jay Electronica, Jim Jones, Johnny Dang, Kid Sister, Lil' Keke, Mitchy Slick, Raekwon, Slim Thug, Yelawolf, Yo Gotti and Z-Ro, as well as Paul Wall's short-lived hip hop supergroup Expensive Taste.

AllMusic's David Jeffries praised the album, saying "Barker's productions aren't as showy as you might expect, acting as true support with some interesting ideas, and the rest of the tracks are well handled by the returning Dirty South crew Beanz & Kornbread, giving the album a proper mix of new and old".

[3] Ben Detrick of Spin found Paul Wall "cruises along with his usual simile-packed musings about wood-grained cars, fat pockets, and jewelry resembling 'snow cones'", and called him "a veteran rapper without bitterness is a treat".

[7] In his negative review for Slant Magazine, Jesse Cataldo found the album "feels like a misguided departure and a lazy retread".
