Background

Anotha Level was composed of five members: Bambino, Ced Twice, Stenge, Stix and Stones. The group was discovered by Ice Cube, who then got the group a deal with his label Priority Records. The album was executive produced by Ice Cube and Laylaw, with actual production handled by Laylaw, D-Maq and group members Stix and Stones. In addition, Ice Cube was featured on the track "Level-N-Service" and The Pharcyde was featured on "Phat-T".

Despite the involvement from Ice Cube, the album was not a commercial success. It peaked at No. 60 on the U.S. Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums on May 28, 1994 and stayed on the chart for nine weeks. It also made it to No. 17 on the Heatseekers Albums chart. The group disbanded later in the year after making their final appearance on the Street Fighter soundtrack.
