The album peaked at number 65 on the Billboard 200 and at number 31 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. It featured two singles: "Rock the Party" and "Would You", both produced by Mario Winans. "Rock the Party" made it to number 82 on the Billboard Hot 100, and also appeared on the US version of The Transporter: Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture, was featured in the 2002 film I-SPY and in the 2003 video game NBA Street Vol. 2.

The song "Pull Your Skirt Up" is a direct diss track aimed at Shady/Aftermath artists D12, G-Unit, Dr. Dre and Obie Trice, initially released as B-side of UK versions of "Rock the Party" single during ongoing Benzino and Eminem feud. While Benzino was recording the album, he made sure to work with people who were beefing with 50 Cent at the time, such as Black Child and Cadillac Tah from Murder Inc Records, Fatal and Lil' Kim.
