In his own words, Classified expresses his gratitude for working with a legend like Masta Ace, stating, "Getting to work with a legend on this song has been an honor. Been listening to Masta Ace for 30 years now and it was great to get him on this song. When I made the beat, I knew I wanted something with some good energy to it, and left space for a cool flow on it. And then lyrically I just wanted to go in with clever rhymes and flows, and make sure to keep that energy on the vocals that the beat has".

Classified's forthcoming 19th studio album, "Luke’s View," is set to release via HalfLife Records & Big Story Entertainment on April 26th. The album promises a diverse array of tracks, including the reflective "All Wrong," the soul-searching "Wonder," and the powerful societal commentary of "People."
