They gained much hype in their hometown of Miami, performing in local clubs.Up to No Good, their debut studio album, was produced by Campbell and released in December 1996. Two singles—"Get Your Shake On" and "Six O'Clock in the Morning"—were released from the album. In 1998, No Good But So Good were featured on Luke's single "Raise the Roof", which peaked at number 26 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Strachtan later departed the group, and the group's remaining two members shortened their name to No Good. The duo found success with the 1998 single "Lizard, Lizard", a collaboration with rapper Jiggie, which became a top ten hit on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart. No Good and Jiggie collaborated for the studio album Lizard Lizard, which was released in February 1999. The duo later signed to Artistdirect Records and released their third studio album Gameday, PBB in May 2002.

The album was recorded with producers such as Fraser T Smith, Paul Epworth, The Earlies and The Nextmen.

The vinyl version of the album was released as a double 12" vinyl, and bonus 7" vinyl, containing a total of fourteen tracks. The vinyl version featured the tracks in a slightly different order than the standard release, and also includes "Breakdown", and the Earlies version of "Sick 2 Def", in place of the standard version, however, the track "Everyday" is omitted. A deluxe edition of the album was issued in certain territories in 2007, containing the all-new collaborative single with Epic Man, More is Enough. The album received very favourable reviews from critics in the hip-hop, indie and mainstream communities. In 2006, Q Magazine rated the album sixty-fourth in their 100 Best Albums of 2006.
