Making of the album
J-Wess wrote and produced the album and recruited the performers on it. He states on his website: "I feel confident that I’ve done my job as a producer. My job is to find and build talent, to bring new people to the forefront. I wanted to show how deep I go as a producer across the board. I wanted to show my versatility, I didn’t want to be pigeon-holed." The album was released on April 5, 2004.
