Background
The album was in the works since January 2012. Rappers Killer Ben, Planet Asia and TriState first appeared as Durag Dynasty (abbreviated as DRDC) with fellow record producer and rapper the Alchemist on the song "Junkyard Fight Scene" from the latter's album Russian Roulette, which was released on July 17, 2012. Before the release of that album, however, the Alchemist released a track with the group "Spuddnik Webb", which was supposed to be on Russian Roulette but ultimately was not featured on the album.
On February 27, 2013, the album was released for pre-order, and the official track list was premiered.
