Released on August 12, 2008 under Epic Records and Koch Records, it is the only studio album to be released under the Yung Berg alias and also the only album that he has recorded as a performing rapper before transitioning to record production under the alias, Hitmaka.
Production was handled by Rob Holladay, Jason 'JFK' Fleming, Boogz, Detail, Mr. Collipark and Xcel. It features guest appearances from Casha Darjean, Amerie, K. Young, Lloyd, Ray J, Trey Songz and Twista among others. The album debuted at #20 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart selling 19,000 copies in its first week.
Singles
The first single from the album was "Sexy Lady" featuring Junior; peaking at #18 on the Billboard Hot 100 it was included on the prequel EP, Almost Famous (subtitled The Sexy Lady EP). Despite the single being released over sixteen months before the album, Berg confirmed in an interview with fellow Chicago native and radio personality DJ Z that it would still be included on the album.[5]
The single "Sexy Can I" was included in the album even though it also is the first single from Ray J's fourth studio album All I Feel (released April 8, 2008), it peaked at #3 on the Hot 100, was certified 2× Platinum by the RIAA, and is the most successful single for both Ray J and Yung Berg to date.
Soon after, Berg released a promotional street single, entitled "Do That There",[6][7] produced by fellow Chicagoan Xcel (known for producing Shawnna's "Gettin' Some"), it featured a sample from Dude 'n Nem's single "Watch My Feet" and had them credited as featured artists. It is Yung Berg's least successful single to date, only peaking at #125 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Yung Berg said he hoped to release a remix featuring 50 Cent, Twista and Red Cafe.[citation needed] The intro of the song is a "diss" to the rapper Bow Wow. However, Yung Berg later said in an interview that they have ended their disagreement.[8]
The second official single came on May 13, 2008, with the release of "The Business". Assisted by his first Yung Boss Music Group signee and former Candy Hill lead singer Casha, it has entered the Hot 100, charting at #33 so far.
