Snoop Dogg, who acquired Death Row Records in 2022, played a key role in facilitating their return to the label. The album was also promoted through Web3 initiatives and exclusive content via Gala Music.
The album marked Tha Dogg Pound's first project of newly recorded material on Death Row in nearly three decades.
The album features collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Tha Eastsidaz, Blxst, Butch Cassidy, DaBaby, will.i.am, October London, Jane Handcock, The Lady of Rage, and RBX. Production was handled by Mike & Keys, Rick Rock, DJ Battlecat, Jelly Roll, DJ Premier, and Soopafly.
Release and reception
Critics generally received the album positively. RapReviews highlighted the project's adherence to West Coast hip-hop traditions, noting its "laid-back intro filled with Snoop’s ad-libs over a psychedelic jazz beat" and praising the production by Mike & Keys.
HotNewHipHop commended the album's nostalgic value, stating that tracks like "Smoke Up" and "Imma Dogg" deliver on the old-school West Coast style, transporting listeners back to the mid-1990s.
