Background

Nighthawks came to be through Cage's love for police movies.[3] It puts Cage and Camu Tao in the personas of fictional police detectives "Deke DaSilva" and "Matthew Fox". The album was created in a one-week creative binge.[6]

Music

The album is mostly produced by Camu Tao and DJ Mighty Mi, with one song's production by True-Skill. Guest appearances include Tame One, Metro of S.A. Smash, Space and The High & Mighty.[7]
