The album features guest appearances from Lil Wayne, Jhene Aiko, Ty Dolla Sign, Jeremih, Juicy J, Wizkid and Tinashe.

In May 2015, he announced that he decided to change the title from White Panties to The Buffet, because "it's just a variety of things" and would contain a mix of different genres of music.

The song features guest appearances from an American rapper Lil Wayne and a fellow R&B recording artist Jeremih, with the writing and the production that was handled and provided by R. Kelly himself, along with J-Holt and Cem T. "Marching Band" featuring Juicy J, and "Wake Up Everybody" were released as promotional singles along with the album's pre-order on iTunes.

He also adds that its "better than just another R. Kelly album, but not enough to be worth saying so outside of a review, much less on a year-end list; call it a good one-night stand.
