Background
During an interview, Redman stated that Reggie Noble (Redman's own birth name), does the album, not Redman. Redman also said that there is going to be more "poppish" type songs, rather than his normal "rugged" and "hardcore" songs. In regards to the album, he stated:
Yeah the new album Reggie. It's just the alter ego of Redman. Just stepping up a little bit more.
