Before making the song, he narrated that VIP had just returned to the country after many years living abroad. He said the group needed to get back into the music scene and needed a very good song. Richie added that they visited Ignace, the CEO of 4syte TV and played him a song; after listening, he advised them to contact Richie. He added that the group later visited Geo, CEO of Famous Films, and they were advised again to visit Richie. They did, and history was made.

"So, at this time, VIP had recently left the country. so they had just returned and wanted to put out new music. I heard they first went to Geo of Famous Films and played their new music to him, and he told them to look for Richie. He is the new kid making dope beats. Let him give you a song. Then they went to Ignace of 4Syte TV, and there again, they were told to look for Richie. So they came to the studio, and I was in awe because I was a huge fan of VIP; they heard the beat, and instantly Zeal started singing, and IT'S A HIT MAN," he said.
