The album debuted at number 135 on the Billboard 200 and at number 41 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums in the United States. Its lead single, "Players Holiday", peaked at number 90 on the Billboard Hot 100 and become the group's most successful single, with music video starring all the three T.W.D.Y. members Ant Banks, Rappin' 4-Tay and Captain Save 'Em, as well as Mac Mall, Too $hort, Otis & Shug, E-40 and Ray Luv. The album's second single, "Drinks on Me", made it to number 18 on the Hot Rap Songs chart.
Banks settled his rivalry with MC Pooh-Man when they appeared together on the song "Ride Wit Me". The album is dedicated to Anthony "M.C. Ant" Thomas, who was killed in early 1999 and made his posthumous appearance on the song "Shook Niggas".
