This combined effort from respected west coast pioneers Spice 1 and Celly Cel was really quite a landmark. Bringing together 2(three) of the biggest west coast MCs to collaborate efforts was an accomplish- ment in itself and a huge step forward in the West Coast hip hop game. Although Criminalz started out with a third member, Jayo Felony, for some reason he dropped out last minute and was only featured on 7 out of 12 tracks. For whatever reasons he didn't appear on the cover.

Most successful rap groups often had guidance while making their best albums. Or a so-to-speak, mastermind, to help mold the three into one common sound. Some could say that this reminds them more of a collaboration project rather than an actual "group".
