Album information

edit

The album was originally set to be released on October 13, 2009[4] then it was pushed back to November 10, 2009.[5] The third time the album was pushed was due to the album's first single "Blockstars" which originally featured Plies, was replaced by Yo Gotti because according to Kayslay, Plies could not be found when it was time to shoot the video.

Kayslay originally called on collaborators ranging from 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Busta Rhymes, Saigon, Drake, Ray J, Rell, Nicole Wray, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Hell Rell, JR Writer, Cam'ron, AZ, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Maino, Red Cafe and longtime collaborator Papoose for the project.[4] Some of these collaborators weren't included on the album though, they were replaced with different artists and/or songs with different artists featured on them.[3]
