Production

The film was made in the rap opera genre and was filmed in Los Angeles in 2003, that's when Sticky Fingaz first mentioned this film in the press in an interview for the MVRemix portal."... My next album is called 'A Day In The Life Of Sticky Fingaz'. The whole thing is almost like 'Black Trash', like a story where the whole thing connects but each song makes sense and stands alone by itself. The whole thing is one day...

In 2007, in an interview for The A-List Magazine, the director figuratively described the plot of the film as a story in which "The Godfather" meets "Romeo and Juliet". In the same year, in an interview based on fan questions from the Onyx website's forum, Sticky Fingaz called his film "Shakespearean rap opera"."... I'm going to sharply change the game.

In 2008, in an interview for the portal RapReviews, Sticky Fingaz referred to the new film as a movie built on rap: "A Day In The Life – basically it's Black Trash, the Kirk Jones album, on steroids. The whole entire movie is a wrap. There are no regular parts in the movie at all, all the dialogue is in rap."
