In many interviews, Donell stated that he recorded 50 songs for the album. Some of those songs started to be leaked during the Summer/Fall period of 2004 due to Mixtape DJ's receiving those songs and putting them in their mixtapes. It was speculated that the album was pushed back numerous times due to the leaking of the songs onto the internet. But Donell stated, it was mainly because of the many complications of the Sony BMG merger that happened during the Spring of 2004. Donell was a bit heated at first when he heard about the leaking on the internet but then said it was sign to his fans that he was working on a new album. Currently, there have been 10 songs that have leaked that didn't made the final cut for the album. It's also been reported that fellow Chicago Native Kanye West had actually worked with Donell Jones but for some reason those songs didn't made the final cut. There's been rumors circulating on the internet that he had also worked with big-name producers such as Scott Storch and Babyface but those songs also didn't made final cut for the album.
