Background

When asked about the record Maino said:[1]

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

It was crazy, When Swizz first played it for me I said, 'Come on Swizz, I don't got a million dollars man.' He said, 'Nah, but I got a million dollars.' And we laughed. I found a way to be me without trying to look like I was more rich than what I was portraying. I didn't want to come off like I'm more richer than what I really am. It's a song about trying to spread love in the hood and giving back so I made it more or less like that.

Music video

A music video was shot in Brooklyn, New York with director Edwin Decena. Rappers Red Cafe, Kayto, Lil Mama, Uncle Murda & Grafh made cameo appearances.[2] A Behind the scenes preview was released on June 15, 2009.[3] The video was released July 9 on Maino's Twitter account.[4]
