Background
Another Level were originally conceived by Nick Raphael and Christian Tattersfield for their new record label project, Northwestside Records, a BMG sub-label in the United Kingdom that had also signed Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella Records unit in 1998. They felt there was a gap in the market for an interracial boyband. Raphael and Tattersfield asked future Epic A&R Jo Charrington to put the group together and then manage them. Charrington recruited the members by auditioning singers from the BRIT School and modelling agencies, with the band originally consisting of a fifth member, Michael Kempster, who left the band shortly after recruitment to pursue a solo career. Due to Northwestside's position as an urban marketed record label, a number of R&B and hip hop stars guested on Another Level's second album. TQ appears on the track "Summertime", while Blacksmith MC Fats appears on the track "What You Know Bout Me". Jay-Z had previously appeared on "Be Alone No More", and Ghostface Killah, previously appeared on the single version of "I Want You for Myself".
