[edit] Song Info

[edit] Production

The song shows the use of Pro Tools ability to create voice masking and voice doubling, with the fact that DMX does his vocals on the microphone, and then does them over the top of his previous audio track, to create a hazed, mellow sound, much like that of someone rapping with a 40 a Day voice.

[edit] Music Video

The music video was shot in his birth city of Baltimore, Maryland (unlike previous videos shot in New York City), and contains cameo appearances from The LOX.

[edit] In Popular Culture

The song appears on the game "Test Drive: Overdrive".
