The album's title track peaked at No. 23 on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[4] Chris Applebaum directed the music video for Little Caesar Productions.[5]
The group was formed in 1991 when rapper H2O moved from Brooklyn to Atlanta, where he met members Unkle Buk, Sha Boogie, Spearhead X, and Logic. They were signed to Rowdy Records in late 1992. Roni Sarig, in Third Coast: Outkast, Timbaland, and How Hip-hop Became a Southern Thing, called the album "a less political, more fun-loving take on the upwardly mobile alt-rap being created by Arrested Development."[6]
The title track was ranked #96 on Complex's list of "The 100 Best Hip-Hop One Hit Wonders," in 2012.[7] LA Weekly included the album on its list of "The 5 Best Summer Rap Albums You've Probably Never Heard."[8] Fact, in its article on the most overlooked hip hop albums of the 1990s, wrote: "This is a rap album that was widely rediscovered in the early 2000s and began changing hands for impressive sums, perhaps because it’s a perfect teleportation device to a period when the music was about having fun and experimenting."[9]
