[edit] Background

Bash has worked a long time with Happy Perez. Working with Perez, in particular, holds a special significance for Bash. "It's my recipe, my formula," he says. "I've been using it ever since I met Happy Perez. He did 'Suga Suga,' 'Obsession.' Without him, there'd be no Baby Bash or Frankie J. Happy P is the one that made those beats that blew up for us."[2] Other collaborators include J. R. Rotem, Play-N-Skillz, Ryan Tedder, Aundrea Fimbres of Danity Kane, and Paula DeAnda.[3]

It is also Baby Bash's first album not to contain a Parental Advisory sticker.

[edit] Singles

Singles released from the album include "Cyclone" featuring T-Pain, "What Is It" featuring Sean Kingston, and "Don't Stop" featuring Keith Sweat.
