In June 2008, Kardinal released the mixtape, Limited Time Only, which had snippets of five songs that would appear on the album.

On July 15, "Burnt" and "Set It Off" featuring Clipse, were released on iTunes; In August, a music video was released for "Set It Off". The song "Numba 1 (Tide Is High)", featuring Rihanna, is a cover of the reggae song "The Tide Is High". The version featuring Keri Hilson is the album's fourth single.
