Production

The album was produced by Fingathing's DJ Peter Parker and Sneaky; Parker provided the scratching, and Sneaky played double bass.[2] Many of the tracks are about wrestling.[6][7]

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "it's rare that discs released by scratch or battle DJs ever hold a candle to their respective live performances, but here Fingathing definitely defy convention."[1] The Guardian wrote that some of the songs "are lushly atmospheric, while others have the rudimentary feel and brutal minimalism of earliest hip hop."[3]
