Felix Cartal, Hugo Massien, Qrion, Sofi Tukker, Alexander Lewis, Kingdom and Dâm-Funk are among the featured artists included on the album. Tokimonsta told New York Daily News regarding the album "It represents who I am right now as an artist, how I've progressed over the many years that have passed since the last one."
