Background

The album was originally titled ''Sooner or Later'' and set to be released in 2009 but was pushed to a 2010 release due to Lyfe wanting more time to make this his best album.
Lyfe stated this will be his final album because family issues involving his children but he has said he will still do some behind the scene work and a couple features every so often. Lyfe has also said: "I never compare any of my other albums to '' 268-192'', because they were different – special, but different at the same time. I think this album here is definitely comparable to the first time I really had a couple of different features, dream features that I can do songs with. It's not over yet, this is the last album to finish your collection."
