In 2011 after his Debut dropped, Yelawolf told Complex Magazine that:

That record is reminiscent of Trunk Muzik in a way. I recorded ‘Get Away’ when I was doing records for Trunk Muzik: 0 – 60.. My manager Courtney ‘Big Bear’ Sills flew Shawty Fatt out when we were working on Radioactive in Vegas.

One morning, after being out there for like a week, I hear Shawty Fatt playing that record. I had forgotten completely about it. I thought it was amazing. Sometimes you don’t know what you’ve recorded, and then pull records back out like, ‘Man, that shit was dope!’ We pulled that record back out.

I really wanted to get Shawty Fatt on my project. I love his style. If there were two sides of hip-hop that could be represented out of Gadsden [Alabama], he’s definitely that other side of Alabama. I love his perspective, his story, and his voice. That was the perfect record to get him on the project.

The idea of getting Mystikal on there came from vibing out in the studio. Mystikal’s a legend. We thought he would fit perfect on the project and that song. We were lucky to get him and he killed it.
