The album was mostly produced by Tony Rotton, with two tracks produced by DJ Dynamite and one by Harry Love.[1] Guest appearances come from singer Est'elle and Jahmali, from rappers Mystro, Rodney P, Karl Hinds and Seanie T, and from then-Radio 1 DJ Lisa I'Anson, whose narration on "Dirty Stopout Uncovered" alludes to her role as narrator on the TV documentary series Ibiza Uncovered.

The tracks "Kik Off", "Trixstar", and "So Rotton" were released as singles. The video for the first single, "Kik Off", was the first music video directed by graffiti artist Banksy, who also designed the album's artwork.

Rotton cited extensive touring experience in the UK and Europe and the birth of his second child as influences on the album.[2]

gollark: Hey, humans could TOTALLY mess up in that way too!
gollark: *But* some single humans could... probably break civilization.
gollark: Not entirely, no.
gollark: As technology improves this will probably get even more problematic as individual humans get able to throw around more energy to do things.
gollark: > A human gone rogue can be stopped easily enoughI mean, a hundred years ago, a rogue human might have had a gun or something, and could maybe shoot a few people before they were stopped. Nowadays, humans have somewhat easier access to chemical stuff and can probably get away with making bombs or whatever, while some control advanced weapons systems, and theoretically Trump and others have access to nukes.Also, I think on-demand commercial DNA printing is a thing now and with a few decades more development and some biology knowledge you could probably print smallpox or something?
