And it was recorded mostly at WASP studio in Kingston and two songs at Don Carlos’ son studio in Portmore." he explained.
About featurings, Mikey told us "On the album we featured Sugar Minott, Spectacular and a bredrin named Binghi Ghost. The song with Sugar Minott was a production that Dr Suess had and he said that the song was not completed. So he asked me to just fill it and to put in spot the parts Sugar Minot left outta road".
