It was originally titled 'To Hell & Back', with a release date of April 28, 1999.[3] The album did not make it to any Billboard charts since it did not see a public release, but the single 'Stand Up' reached #9 on the Hot Rap Singles. Guests on the album include Ghostface Killah, Da Brat, Lady of Rage, Gangsta Boo, Mobb Deep, Cam'ron, N.O.R.E., and producer DJ Premier.
