[4] The album consists of nine original songs recorded by prominent Washington, D.C.–based go-go bands and hip hop artists, and includes the anti-violence song "D.C. Don't Stand for Dodge City".

The "Go Go Posse" was a supergroup consisting of D.C. Scorpio, Chuck Brown & the Soul Searchers, Rare Essence, Little Benny & the Masters, and E.U.

The song was released in response to the dramatic increase in violent and drug-related murders in D.C. during the crack epidemic in the late-1980s.

During this time period, D.C. was labeled the "Murder Capital of the United States" and go-go and hip hop culture received much of the blame for the increasing crime rates.

The "Go Go Posse" united to release this song as a response to the growing criticism of go-go music, and to encourage its patrons to stop the violence.
