Background

After waiting almost two years to release 100 Wayz through Koch Records, Tha Dogg Pound left Koch and began working on That Was Then, This Is Now. Daz Dillinger criticized Alan Grunblatt in recent[ when? ] interviews and mixtapes, ruling out any future releases through Koch Records. However he also stated that 100 Wayz would still be coming out, but with new and unleaked material. The original singles and several tracks that were promoting the 100 Wayz album during 2008 and early 2009 were now included on That Was Then, This Is Now.

On 1 December 2009, Daz gave a preview of his new single for the 100 Wayz album, called "sky'z tha limit", which Soopafly & Daz on the productions. Daz announced there would be 16 brand new tracks on the 100 Wayz album, and it would be released in 2010 [2] [3] through major distribution, and executive produced by Snoop Dogg, as well as released through the Doggystyle Records imprint.
