Seriki's stage name Chamillionaire is a portmanteau of "chameleon" and "millionaire" He has been recording mixtapes since 1998. While self-promoting at an event, Seriki and fellow rapper Paul Wall  met Michael "5000" Watts, a popular mixtape DJ from northern Houston. After proposing to do promotions for Watts's company Swishahouse, Chamillionaire and Paul Wall came to Watts's studio and convinced Watts to allow them to freestyle on an intro to Watts's radio show on Houston hip-hop radio station KBXX-FM. Watts, who himself was convinced to rap on the record, enjoyed the freestyle so much that he put the verses on one of his mixtapes.
