Speaking to The Boombox about the EP, Brasco said, "My pops died by the time I was 13. When I was over there, I had started selling drugs in the building. ‘18th Floor’ is just the equivalent to the floors in that building. There were so many different cultures, it was like a gumbo. So the album is gonna be like that where every song is different. Different emotions.”

She graduated from Hampton University in 2008 with a degree in Business Administration and Management, and went on to work for A1 Recordings, Inc.
