For one of the songs on the album Saint tapped Emskee, a DJ/Emcee who was known at the time as a resident DJ on 99.5 WBAI's "Underground Railroad" show to perform scratches, but after learning of Emskee's lyrical abilities the two formed a musical bond that led Saint to scrap his solo album in favor of a group project with Emskee.

Billed as "The Good People" the group released an EP on Germany's Mad Flava Record label in 2006, which featured El Da Sensei (Artifacts), Mr. Man, Kool Kim (UMC's), Cadence (Raw Produce), Dr. Becket, Dumi Right (Zimbabwe Legit) and Prince Po (Organized Konfusion). They followed soon after with their debut album on Japan's Goon Trax/Media Factory label

Saint returned to the drawing board and emerged with "About Time" on Pro Se/Domination Recordings. He is joined on the mic by Cadence, Dumi Right, NYOIL, Mr. Man, Eternia, Emskee, Muneshine, Anti-, Honey Larochelle, Verses, Dr. Becket, Mr. Complex and El Da Sensei. With a mix of Hip Hop, R&B and Soul, Saint brings audiences a taste of New York hip hop from its pinnacle point, providing a unique vibe, but with a sense of familiarity. For listeners who have been awaiting the return of hip hop with substance, it's "About Time."
