 After 5,000 copies sold independently, she released a longer album through Hieroglyphics Imperium that got noticed by Columbia Records, which picked up that album for worldwide distribution, added several tracks, and signed her to a contract through Skyblaze Recordings, her family-owned imprint.The catalog number is an in-joke reference to her birthday and initials of her name.Several songs on this album were rerecorded for their inclusion on the follow-up album, and it is the only album on which the song "You" (a different composition from the song of the same name on "Change it All") is available.
