On this album, Sir Scratch and K-Cut combined their talents with Mikey D, an emcee previously signed to Sleeping Bag Records, who demonstrates a raw voice and delivery. The song "Set It Off" includes verses from Jadakiss and Sheek Louch of The Lox before they became successful a few years later. In addition, a female emcee named Shaqueen (Kool G Rap's former wife) contributes to "Set It Off" and "Fuck What You Think." Only one single was released from the album, "What You Need" in 1993.

Singer Madonna sampled the bass line from "What You Need" in the song "Human Nature", which appeared on her 1994 album Bedtime Stories.
