It was Fishbone's first studio album in three years following the departure of founding members Kendall Jones and Chris Dowd and the band being dropped by [Sony Records](/source/Sony_Records). It was also their last album with founding member Philip "Fish" Fisher, who would leave the band two years later. The band's recent experiences prompted the album's themes of racism and music industry practices, and *Chim Chim's Badass Revenge* includes some of the band's heaviest songs, such as the [hardcore punk](/source/Hardcore_punk) title track, "Riot" and "Psychologically Overcast" (the latter featuring guest vocals by [Busta Rhymes](/source/Busta_Rhymes)). The album was produced by [Dallas Austin](/source/Dallas_Austin), who said he wanted to take Fishbone to the next level as Rick Rubin had done with [Red Hot Chili Peppers](/source/Red_Hot_Chili_Peppers).[4] In 1997, Austin would use Fishbone as the backing band for *[Amoeba Cleansing Syndrome](/source/Amoeba_Cleansing_Syndrome)*, the second album by R&B singer [Joi Gilliam](/source/Joi_Gilliam).[5] John Bigham, who'd joined the band during the tour for *The Reality of My Surroundings*, makes his only solo guitar appearance on this album, leaving shortly after the completion due to what was cited as "lack of creative input" and wanting to create a solo career. The song "Alcoholic" was written by [Angelo Moore](/source/Angelo_Moore) in his teenage years and was inspired by his uncle before the band was signed to Sony Records and appears on their original demo. The album reached #158 on the *[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))* Album Charts.[6] It was the last Fishbone album for four years, as the band went through more personnel changes. ## Track listing All songs written by Fishbone, except for "Chim Chim's Badass Revenge" and "Pre Nutt", which were written by Fishbone and executive producer Dallas Austin.
