It is sometimes mistakenly reported that "Kiss You Back" was co-written and co-performed by George Clinton,[9] but his name appropriately appears in the songwriting credits due to a sample of "(Not Just) Knee Deep," by Funkadelic. He did actively participate in the writing and recording of the title track, to which he also contributed vocals, and which marked one of the earliest studio guest appearances by Clinton on a hip hop release,[10] preceded only by Kurtis Blow's "Magilla Gorilla," released in 1986.[11]

Both the album and the single "Kiss You Back" were certified Gold by the RIAA.[12]

Sons of the P es el tercer álbum del grupo de rap Digital Underground, lanzado el 15 de octubre de 1991. El álbum incluye dos exitosos sencillos, "No Nose Job" y "Kiss You Back", ambos compuestos e interpretados por el líder del grupo Greg Jacobs (a.k.a. Shock G/Humpty Hump). "Kiss You Back" no fue coescrita y cointerpretada por George Clinton, como en muchas ocasiones se informa,[1][2] aunque su nombre aparece en los créditos de composición debido al sample de la canción "(Not Just) Knee Deep" de Funkadelic. Sin embargo, la canción en la que Clinton colabora es en "Sons of the P", tanto en la composición y grabación del tema como con su voz, significando una de las primeras apariciones del cantante de funk en una canción de hip-hop,[3] precedido solo por su colaboración en "Magilla Gorilla" de Kurtis Blow en 1986.[4] Tanto el álbum como el sencillo "Kiss You Back" fueron certificados oro por la RIAA.[5][6]
