Executive producer Jermaine Dupri based the album's title on the 1991 film New Jack City, feeling that the relationship between himself and Bow Wow was reminiscent of the rancorous but successful business partnership between Nino and Gee Money, the two main drug dealers in New Jack City, and that the album was like the continued success that those two characters could have had in a sequel if they had been able to resolve their differences peacefully.[12]
There are 3 versions for this album released, which is a standard, a limited edition (including a Bonus DVD) and a Walmart version (which is only a clean edition, with three bonus tracks).
The lead single for his sixth album, "You Can Get It All", which features guest vocals from Johntá Austin, while it produced by Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox, was released.[13] This track contains a sample of TLC's hit "Baby, Baby, Baby".
The album's promotional single, "Marco Polo", which features guest vocals by Soulja Boy Tell 'Em (who also latter produced the song), was released accompanying by a music video. The music video was shot and filmed at the Aquatic Park, outside of an Atlanta Suburb (known as Sun Valley Beach), in Paulding Co. GA.[14] The music video premiered on the Soulja Boy Tell 'Em's YouTube page and was premiered via[15] FNMTV on July 25, 2008.[15] The album's second promotional single, "Big Girls", accompanying by a music video, premiered on YouTube (which was released the day, after the release of "Marco Polo"). The complete version was released later on YouTube for some time, but then removed again for unknown reasons. There is no official date on the videos re-release.[16]
The music video for "Roc The Mic", which features guest vocals by Jermaine Dupri (who also produced the song), was released. It was shot in Los Angeles, California near the Staples Center. The video for the song "You Can Get It All" featuring Johntá Austin and produced by Dupri was shot and filmed in Malibu, California and was later released. Both videos were directed by Hype Williams.[citation needed] A video was also filmed for "Pole In My Basement", with a strip club theme. It premiered on May 30, 2009 on Bow Wow's official YouTube page.
While he was on his tour bus, Bow Wow also made unofficial videos for his songs "Sunshine",[17] "Like This"[18] and "She's My".[19]
