In an August 2014, interview with MTV News, Statik Selektah said the album was inspired by a March 2010, visit to one of Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy recording sessions in Hawaii, saying: "The first beat I played him was the Nas one; Kanye sat there and listened for like 10 seconds and he pressed stop and he was like: ‘It’s cool, but jazz is dead′. I was just happy to be there, but the way he said that to me always stuck in mind. This album was definitely inspired by that."
