Background

The outro is a dedication to his late fellow rapper Soulja Slim, who had been murdered two years earlier. Slim is featured in "Holla at Me". Incarcerated rapper, Mac appears on the track "Camouflage & Murder" Produced by Donald XL Robertson. Mac was serving time for murder, when the song was recorded. The track "Won't Let Me Out" is a remix of Akon's hit single "Locked Up". The album achieved moderate success due to its lead single "My Life", which was also made into a video and the surprisingly successful hit "Y'all Heard of Me" with fellow New Orleans rapper B.G.
