The album is produced entirely by Erik L and Illingsworth. It showcases the marvelous beat stylings of both producers, as well as lyricists from the US and Sweden. This long awaited project features guest appearances from the likes of Stray (Favorite Flava), Sene (Blu etc.), DJ Devastate (BBE) and one of Swedens most authentic hip hop groups, Supersci.

Erik and I first crossed paths in May of 2007, via myspace. I listened to the music on his page, thought it was excellent, and kindly left a comment. After that he checked my music and a mutual respect was gained. Soon after we were we collaborating on songs, and eventually he contributed half the production to my group Detroit CYDI's debut album "The Rhyming Dictionary", which was released on December 25, 2008. We've had this album done (in a few different versions) for awhile now, and we are incredibly happy to share it with you. We thank you for all of your support and we hope you enjoy.
