Background

The bulk of the album came about in the year of 1999, when DJ Scratch handed LL a cd of six instrumentals. The submission of beats took place when Scratch first met LL in the studio, as both men were working on the song "Ill Bomb," for Funkmaster Flex and DJ Big Kap's album, The Tunnel.
