Background[edit]

Krizz Kaliko first announced the title of his album in early 2011.[1] After the release of Tech N9ne's EP Klusterfuk, Strange Music began to reveal information on the upcoming album by Krizz Kaliko.[citation needed] On March 15, 2012, Krizz Kaliko contacted rapper Hopsin through Twitter for a collaboration for the album.[2] Several days later, Hopsin responded and agreed to collaborate for the album.[3]

On April 3, 2012, a pre-order for the album was released. The pre-order includes the free download of the album's bonus track, "Bad Man" featuring Oobergeek. Revealed features for the album include Tech N9ne, Wrekonize and Bernz of ¡Mayday!, Twiztid, Chamillionaire, Twista, T-Pain and Rittz.
