Background
King Kulture: Stop the Traffic marks the second volume in the Rapzilla Presents... King Kulture series. The first, King Kulture, was released on January 31, 2012, to support the elementary school Ecole de la Borne in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Featuring artists such as Lecrae, KJ-52, GRITS, Braille, Sho Baraka, and K-Drama, the project raised over $10,000 USD. Following the success of that release, Rapzilla announced on June 18, 2013 that it was releasing a new compilation, Rapzilla Presents... King Kulture: Stop the Traffic. This time, the proceeds will be directed to the New York City-based New York City Urban Project, which aims to halt human trafficking in the NYC-area.

Following its June announcement of the new compilation album, Rapzilla released the project's lead single, "First World Problems" by KIDD, on July 8, 2013. The next day, Rapzilla released a video in which Jonathan Walton of Inter-Varsity and NYCUP discussed the problem of human trafficking in the New York area. On July 23, 2013, Rapzilla co-owner Chad Horton announced the release of a second single, "Over the Edge" by MC Jin featuring Dawen, on AllHipHop.
