After the release of Pre-Life Crisis, Count Bass D felt he had overshot his own talent. In 2002, he decided to make a more hip hop-themed album, so he bought an Akai S-3000 sampler and an MPC-2000 drum machine and quickly learned to create beats using samples. Dwight Spitz is his first album with a more traditional hip hop theme.[3] The album has collaborations with Edan, J. Rawls, Dione Farris and MF DOOM.
A deluxe edition was released on Count Bass D's Bandcamp on August 25, 2013, to celebrate the album's ten year anniversary. This edition includes six new bonus tracks.[4]
Critical reception
The A.V. Club called the album "lovingly assembled and wonderfully idiosyncratic."[5]
