The track features jaunty, horn-driven production from G_Force. For their part, De La Soul and Nas both offer playful and lyrical verses about the rap game and their place in it.

Meditations on the changing face of the music industry abound: "When platinum sales becomes wood" is one metaphorical examination of the way in which the industry has changed since the first days of De La Soul.

While Soul are in the studio working on their new album, they noted that this track won't be on it. In a note on their Soundcloud, they made clear that this is just a loosie.
