At the time while Madlib was making this album he was also working on Madvillainy with MF DOOM which was released a year later. And it was announced in the intro of the song Stepping Into Tomorrow in a funny and ironic way. By the way if You would like to listen more Madlib's jazz projects witch I would really enjoy watching You react to I'd recommend: Joe McDurphey Experience- Experience, The Last Electro-Acoustic Space Jazz & Percussion Ensemble - Miles Away.
