Who knows. There's crap tons of unauthorized releases like this. 2Pac's The Hereafter, all the various"... & Friends" albums, the dozens of versions of Nate Dogg's first album.

I was a member of Daz's official forum at the time when this came out and he never addressed it, mentioned it, or promoted it. I know the Xzibit song on there was originally a bonus track from his second album. Also, everywhere that I've found it for sale says it was released by one of three different record labels: Hogglife Entertainment, Blackclaw, or Dogg Pound Online. I remember at the time of its release, the few people that bought it all said the CD said it was released by Hogglife Entertainment.

My guess is its either a fake, unofficial album or maybe Hogglife Entertainment paid Daz to allow them to attach his name to it for promotion.
