The album was developed during the production of Kendrick Lamar's critically acclaimed album To Pimp a Butterfly, to which Martin was a major contributor. The closing track, "Mortal Man", is an elaboration of musical elements from Butterfly's closing track of the same name.
The fifth track features a performance by Martin's father and acclaimed jazz drummer Ernest "Curly" Martin.
