According to Boots Riley from The Coup, this album is a compilation featuring Spice 1, Boots Riley & Mocedes aka Mopreme Shakur, produced by Pizo the Beatmaker. In fact, 187 Proof is Spice 1 first name and the tape is filled of his early songs except for The Coup's first song.

Spice 1 second official release after his song in Dangerous Crew mini album with notably Rappin' 4 Tay who also made his beginnings, long time before "Only God Can Judge Me".

What a surprising title for one of the first official Mopreme records : "One Nation" !! after DJ Pizo was also the producer of his first songs with Tony ! Toni ! Tone !

Pizo the beatmaker will release a solo album in 1995, in which he will invite Spice 1, Money B, Pooh-Man and even Pee-Wee at the keyboards for one song...
