The wax is composed of 2 tracks, "Bomb Threat" on the A-side and "Stay Down" on the B-side which is the best track of the record in my opinion. Both tracks were produced by Visual Sound and Mass Prod. For the info, Maurice Bristol was the Executive Producer and Co-Producer.

After this single, 4th Quarter dropped a few 12-Inches between 1997 and 2000. Eventually, the law caught up with him and he ended up doing time in Graterford Prison. According to an article from FunTimes Magazine written in 2018, after leaving prison Darrell Alston started researching information about design and production. He is now the proud owner of Bungee Raiment, a company that designs and sell sneakers, sweatshirts and hoodies.
