Background

edit

Although San E had high expectations as a rapper, his previous albums Everybody Ready? and 'Not' Based on the True Story received negative reviews. In order to protect his reputation in the hip-hop scene, he announced that his studio album would prove that he is a great rapper in a track.[1]

B-Free dissed San E in his track "My Team", which made San E diss him back in "On Top of Your Head".[2]
