New Jack City II

The executive producer on the album, Jermaine Dupri, based the album's title on the film, New Jack City (1991), feeling that the relationship between himself and Bow Wow was reminiscent of the rancorous but successful partnership between Nino and Gee Money, the two main drug dealers in the film.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiZsz1FMtCo&t=396 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/MiZsz1FMtCo |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|title=Living The Life (Jd Making A Song) |publisher=YouTube |date=2008-11-09 |access-date=2012-03-03}}{{cbignore}} Three versions for this album were released: standard, limited edition including a bonus DVD, and a clean Walmart version with three bonus tracks.

The lead single for his-then upcoming and untitled sixth album, called "You Can Get It All" was released on December 9, 2008. The song features guest vocals from American singer-songwriter Johntá Austin, while the song was produced by Bow Wow's frequent and long-time record producer Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs2cikdOTlI |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/gs2cikdOTlI |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|title=BOW WOW 1ST SINGLE "YOU CAN GET IT ALL" |publisher=YouTube |date=2009-01-14 |access-date=2012-03-03}}{{cbignore}} This track contains a sample of TLC's hit "Baby, Baby, Baby".
