The song, "(I'll Be Yo') Huckleberry", was originally heard in the film, Booty Call, and was also released as a single to promote the film's soundtrack. "(I'll Be Yo') Huckleberry" and "True Worldwide Playaz" both appeared on the 1999 compilation, Sick Wid It's Greatest Hits.

Critical reception

Allmusic – "...Six Figures, offers enough straight hardcore dope to make it worthwhile for any gangsta aficionado. D-Shot's rhyming is deft, and even if he simply recycles gangsta themes, he does it well... it's still a strong listen, filled with hard grooves and harder rhyming."

Rap Pages – "...Not only does D-Shot raise his own status and that of some lesser known Bay Area rappers, he corrals some of the Bay's best R&B voices..."
