The album was released in 1994 for Ultraphonic Records and blended Prince Ital Joe's reggae with Marky Mark's hip hop.

[6] Life in the Streets was not released in the United States, but it was a success in Germany, where most of the album was produced in the Eurodance style.

The album roughly follows the pattern of the hit single(s), which is Euro dance coupled with American rap know-how.

Currently residing on Jamaica, the Prince throws in some reggae ('To Be Important') for good measure, whereas Boston kid Marky takes care of the streetwise hip hop ('In the 90's').

It's the kind of reality, based on the certainty of a further string of hits engendered by this work of collaboration.
