It was released on June 3, 1993, through Wrap Records with distribution via Ichiban Records, as a lead single from MC Breed's second solo studio album The New Breed. Its lyrics were written by Breed, 2Pac and The D.O.C., and the music was composed by Colin Wolfe and Warren G. It was produced by Warren G, Colin Wolfe and MC Breed.

The single peaked at number 96 on the Billboard Hot 100, at number 61 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and at number 6 on the Hot Rap Songs in the United States, making it the second MC Breed's successful single after 1991 "Ain't No Future in Yo' Frontin'".
