Produced by Da Beatminerz, it contains samples of "Wind Parade" by Donald Byrd and "Hihache" by Lafayette Afro Rock Band. The song was released with a music video featuring the remixed version. Both original and remixed versions featured sampled portions from "Wind Parade" and similar lyrics, with the remix featuring a different vocal delivery and edited lyrics.
==Composition== Vincent Thomas of AllMusic noted the song as among the tracks from ''Enta da Stage'' that "embody early-'90s N.Y.C. hip-hop", as it consists of "rough rhymes" and a chorus of "rowdy b-boys shouting in unison."<ref>{{cite web|last=Thomas|first=Vincent|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/enta-da-stage-mw0000106183|title=Enta da Stage – Black Moon|publisher=AllMusic|access-date=March 19, 2024}}</ref>
