Contents

Originally composed of 14 tracks, it was re-released on October 1, 2002 as a special edition limited to 5,000 copies with 2 bonus tracks and a DVD. In 2003, the instrumental version was released, containing 14 original tracks and 2 bonus tracks from special edition.

The songs "Bury You with Satan", "Dead Body Disposal" and "Poetry in the Streets" were subsequently remixed for 2003 mixtape Street Villains Vol. 1, with a new verse recorded exclusively for each of the remixes. "Bury You with Satan" was once again remixed for 2005 mixtape Street Villains Vol. 2. The song "Circle of Tyrants" served as the name of the eponymous super-group consisting of Necro, Ill Bill, Goretex and Mr. Hyde, who released a self-titled debut studio album in 2005.

The album is considered Necro's quickest selling release at the time.
