The album did not reach the Billboard 200, however it peaked at number 87 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and number 38 on the Independent Albums charts in the United States.

Background

It was originally meant to be a Death Row Records release, but Daz took away the reels from Suge Knight, who was in jail at the time. After his return from prison, he got the reels back and put some of the songs from the album on Tha Dogg Pound compilation 2002, as well as "Baccstabbers" being on Mark Morrison's second studio album Innocent Man, a then-unreleased album by Death Row Records. "Just a Man"/"Backstabbers" peaked at number 48 on the UK Singles Chart.
