Release

The album was initially released February 13, 2005 independently. Following the well received local response, the album caught the attention of KRS-One, who would expose Common Market to a wider audience when KRS-One brought them on the Temple of Hip-hop tour.[6] One year later, the album was re-released October 17 on Massline Media. The re-release adds one bonus track and revised cover art.[7] The bonus track on the re-released version of the album is a remixed version of a Blue Scholars song from their 2005 The Long March EP. It features Geologic and Gabriel Teodros.[8]

Influences

"G'Dang Diggy" is a reference to the New York Rap Battle involving KRS-One of Boogie Down Productions.
