History

The EP was released shortly after their debut album X-Pressions, and despite changing their names to The X-Ecutioners, who also produced the EP, it was released under their former name, The X-Men. Several versions of the two hit singles, including "Música Negra (Black Music)" and "Wordplay", appeared on the EP.
