In a March 2012 interview with Complex, Erick Sermon mentioned producer Mike City used the production of Redman's "Can't Wait" as the inspiration behind two of his hits- "I Wish" by Carl Thomas as well as "Full Moon" by singer/actress Brandy.
The Japanese release includes the opening theme "Zetsubou to Kibou" 絶望と希望 (or if translated, "Despair and Hope") performed by Ai Kawashima, previously half of musical duo "I WiSH".
The album was most notable for two #1 R&B hits: the tribute song "I Wish", and the remix of the party anthem, "Fiesta", which featured Jay-Z.
