It was originally meant to be a Death Row Records release, but Daz took away the reels from Suge Knight, who was in jail at the time. After his return from prison, he got the reels back and put some of the songs from the album on Tha Dogg Pound compilation 2002 , as well as "Baccstabbers" being on Mark Morrison's second studio album Innocent Man , a then-unreleased album by Death Row Records. "Just a Man"/"Backstabbers" peaked at number 48 on the UK Singles Chart.
