The album was recorded at "The Dojo", the label's recording studio.
Background
In 2008 it was announced in the song "Kept Grindin'" by DJ Clay featuring Insane Clown Posse, Twiztid, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, Anybody Killa, Axe Murder Boyz & Boondox, Blaze announced that his new album would be called Last House On Dead Street and would be released in 2009. Blaze and Jamie Madrox went to work and began creating the album. The idea was then pushed to the side, and would be released as a tour CD titled Gang Rags: Extended Version (Uncut & Uncensored). In December 2009 on Psychopathic's "Weekly Freekly Weekly" it was announced that Blaze's new album would be titled Gang Rags and it would be produced by Violent J and Mike E. Clark and it would be Blaze's first album without the work of Twiztid in any way. Psychopathic wanted to see how this would work for Blaze, and the album charted at 52 on the Billboard 200, but started to cause waves among the artists. After Twiztid's departure from Psychopathic on December 12, 2012, Blaze was soon to follow. In late 2013/early 2014 Blaze acquired the rights to Gang Rags: Extended Version (Uncut & Uncensored) from Psychopathic Records. In the "New Release Packet" released by INgrooves it explains how the album came about, it says "Blaze and Jamie Madrox contacted Michael 'Seven' Summers and The Dead Beatz to strip away existing beats and recreate the album. Now almost four years later the album sounds the way it should have in 2010". The album features Jamie Madrox & The R.O.C.
