The album was originally slated for an 29 April 2002 release on Death Row Records, with promotional copies and album samplers of the project being released, but the album was shelved due to label conflicts. In December 2004, Morrison attempted to release the album through his then-label 2 Wikid Records, but this did not happen as the project was again put on hold due to the label owner, famous footballer Kevin Campbell having disagreements with Morrison.[2] The project was set for an April 2005 release, but it was again pushed back until 2006 when it was finally released on his own independent record label. The album subsequently failed to chart.

Critical reception

The album received mixed reviews. The Guardian gave it three stars, describing it as a "credible return".[3] The Independent's view was indifferent.[4]
