Key aspects of the album:

• Posthumous Release: The album features posthumous vocals from Guru, who passed away in 2010. DJ Premier used unreleased vocal takes from Guru and crafted new beats around them.

• Production: DJ Premier produced the entire album.
• Reception: The album received generally favorable reviews, with critics praising it as a fitting tribute to Guru and a continuation of Gang Starr's legacy. Some considered that the album adheres to the Gang Starr formula, with "neck snapping beats" and "razor sharp cuts"
• Some considered it a classic, while others acknowledged inevitable flaws due to it being a posthumous record. There were some criticisms about certain guest features not blending seamlessly with the old-school aesthetic.
• Significance: It serves as a closure for long time fans and potentially an introduction of the group to a new audience, and tribute to a passed member of the group.
