This album also features the first appearances of George's grandson Trazae rapping on a few tunes, and George's granddaughters Kandy Apple Redd, and George's stepdaughter Nakid 87, Sidney Barnes, Sly Stone, and posthumous appearances by the late Garry Shider, and Belita Woods who both had died, are featured on the album.
