A video for the track "Spring Again" was released in the spring of 1990.
A 2006 Japanese issue includes song "A Thing Named Kim" as track 8.
Though out of print for many years, the album was reissued on LP and CD in 2012 by Traffic Entertainment Group.[3]
The release has received praise both from critics as well as fellow musicians over the years, with "Just a Friend" attracting particular acclaim. The 2006 hip-hop centered memoir In the Arms of Baby Hop cited the album as one of the "immaculate tapes out by February and March of 1990" (another example being 3rd Bass's The Cactus LP) influencing many.[4] The magazine Jet named the release one of their top 20 albums of the period in their January 15, 1990 edition.[5]
