The song was produced and featured scratches by K-Def, with K-Def and Marley Marl mixing it. "Chief Rocka" became the group's most successful single and has become their signature song. It peaked at #55 on the Billboard 200, the group's highest appearance on that chart, and went to #1 on the Hot Rap Singles.
