Release
This album was released after a falling-out with the Geto Boys and refers to the incident on the album in the following lyric "I left Charlie Brown on the cut, 'cause I felt like Snoopy, workin for Peanuts", referring to his feeling of not being properly compensated for his work as an artist. This is a favorite of producer Blockhead.
Willie D debuted the album in August 1992 during an outdoor rally adjacent to the Houston Astrodome when the 1992 Republican National Convention was held where he did a sample of Rodney K.
