It is best known for its single "Seasons", featuring Masta Ace, that details that history of hip hop comparing different eras to seasons of a year. It also has some political songs, such as "Dying Nation," "War," and "Appreciation," which takes a somber, storytelling approach to the September 11th attacks.

It also includes the song "Falling Down", which is based on Falling Down, a film about a man violently making his way across Los Angeles.
