Interesting facts:

“Tread Water” was recorded in one day at Bionic Studios which was the recording studio of the then popular “Citizen King” a long-time Milwaukee favorite.

“All I Have” was written while sitting in Slug’s small apartment living/bedroom. I doubt his place is that small anymore.

“2200 Miles” can only be found on this release. It also is the only track to combine Smith and P. Channel as featured MCs. Some say a person has to walk 2200 miles to get somewhere. We say “China is here”.
