To promote the record, Carter embarked on the Rock, Rap and Retro Tour, with Jump 5, No Secrets, and Triple Image serving as opening acts. Commercially, the album debuted at number 18 on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart, and became Carter's final studio album released under Jive Records.
== Backgound and release == Carter said that he was unaware that Baha Men would be featured on "Summertime" until after the collaboration had already been arranged. He stated: "I felt like they used me to support another artist, and that’s not right. I'm not their caretaker. I'm not here to support them. They should do their own thing and work for it like I did".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Aquilante |first1=Dan |title=Teen at work: backstreeters Li'l Bro is no backseater |url=https://nypost.com/2002/09/06/teen-at-work-backstreeters-lil-bro-is-no-backseater/ |website=New York Post |access-date=14 February 2026 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260214212637/https://nypost.com/2002/09/06/teen-at-work-backstreeters-lil-bro-is-no-backseater/ |archive-date=14 February 2026 |date=6 September 2002 |url-status=live}}</ref>
