It also spawned two singles, "Biological Didn't Bother" (which discusses O'Neal's estrangement from his biological father, with whom he would not reconcile until 2016) and "No Hook" which featured Wu-Tang Clan members, Method Man and RZA. The album was certified Gold by the RIAA. The kanji 風—meaning 'wind'—is used on the cover, which can be pronounced as 'fu' in Japanese. It has no relation to the 'fu' (夫) in 'kung fu' (功夫) of which the album references its name.
