It was released on September 18, 1996 via Sick Wid' It/Jive Records as the lead single from E-40's third full-length solo studio album Tha Hall of Game.

Co-written and produced by Ant Banks, the song contains a portion of Too $hort's 1985 composition "Playboy Short".

An accompanying music video was filmed on July 13, 1996 by Eric Haywood.

Beside E-40, Too $hort and K-Ci, B-Legit, Joe Clair, Mack 10 and Richie Rich among others provided cameo appearances.

2Pac, who also made a cameo appearance in the music video, winks at the camera when E-40 rapped in his verse "Don't buy an $85,000 car before you buy a house", making reference to the Notorious B.I.G.
