The song was produced by DJ Khalil and mixed by Dr. Dre, with additional keys by Daniel "Danny Keyz" Tannenbaum.

The song has additional vocals by Sly "Pyper" Jordan, Kobe Honeycutt, Blackthoven and Slim the Mobster.

[6] Khalil told HitQuarters that he began with the sample of Honeycutt saying "Hold up, wait a minute, let me put some kush up in it", which he looped in Reason, and the drums, which he tried to make sound "pulsating and clubby".

[6] To this basic track they started adding hook parts and different vocals with the aim of giving the song a constantly evolving sound, but at the same time Khalil was mindful to keep the production as open and spare as possible.

DJ Khalil, producer of the song, makes a cameo appearance throwing a Beats By Dr. Dre headphone towards the camera in a freeze frame shot.

[11][12] The video, directed by Joseph Kahn, begins as Dre is seated in a sleek, black Lamborghini, attempting to flick a Zippo lighter.

But the festivities around him are ice cold; the club patrons are statue-like, frozen in the parking lot and inside, in mid groove.

Dr. Dre, along with Akon and Snoop Dogg, performed this song at the Grammy Interscope Party[citation needed] along with "The Next Episode", "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang", "Gin and Juice" and "Still D.R.E.".
