Like Stepfather, the album was one of the more experimental releases for the group, employing alternate time-signatures, live instrumentation, and even a string section.

The group sampled several popular artists because they felt that they should be choosing music that a large portion of fans may have listened to as youths.

In their opinion, recognizing a sample source is part of the excitement of discovering hip hop, and that may have been lost in the race to find obscure records.

Only 2000 copies were pressed, and the records included yellow highlighter-colored, streaked 180-g vinyl, heavy-cardboard casing (reminiscent of pre-digital era releases), and a foil-stamped, die-cut tear strip.

With the 16-bit compact disc becoming increasingly obsolete in a digital market, Thes One felt that it would break new ground for the recording industry.
