Background
By 1998, Daz Dillinger was one of the last remaining artists on Death Row after its decline in 1996 after the death of 2Pac, and the departure of Dr. Dre. Daz was the head of Death Row while Suge Knight was imprisoned for violating his parole, caused by a fight he, 2Pac, and fellow Death Row members got into with Orlando Andersonin Las Vegas on Sept 7th. The album peaked at number 8 on the Billboard 200 on April 18 with 89,000 copies sold in its first week.[4] Daz soon left after this album to form his own record company, D.P.G. Recordz and worked with such artists as Soopafly, Mac Shawn, Crooked I, South Sentrell, and others.
The album was also the last original Death Row album for seven years. Since Daz was one of the last of a dying breed, he largely moved on to different techniques after this album.
The album's cover artwork references the cover of Marvin Gaye's album, In Our Lifetime.
