Produced exclusively by the Neptunes on Pharrell Williams Star Trak imprint, the album displayed The Clipses microphone prowess, which helps the squares navigate through their cocaine flooded street slang. Along with artists like Timbaland and Magoo, Missy Elliot, and Pharrell, The Clipse was an intricate part of establishing VA as one of the East Coasts strongholds in Hip Hop, which made room for artists like Chris Brown and Wale to add on to the legacy. Some of the most memorable gems from the Twin Thortons first album include Cot Damn featuring their Re-Up Gang affiliates Ab-Liva and Phillys Roscoe P. Coldchain, When The Last Time with their Star Trak team members Kelis and Pharrell and the infamous Grindin' with remixes featuring Noreaga, and another infamous duo, Lil Wayne and Birdman.
