Background

Like his previous album, Maestro worked with a younger generation of Toronto hip-hop artists,^[1] including members of The Circle (Kardinal Offishall, Saukrates, Solitair, and Frankenstein). Describing the album as "a brand new book all together," he also stated "The vibe of my music has changed, especially with tracks like Poppa 'Stro and Maestro Glycerine."^[2] The song "Perseverance" was inspired by former boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter.^[2]
