Notes

• The Gang Starr song the episode is named after is "Manifest", from their debut album No More Mr. Nice Guy. Both the song and the episode make a display of power. In the episode, it's the depiction of both Cottonmouth's and Mariah's turn into the criminal life.
• The music featured in the episode are:
  • "Plain Gold Ring" by Nina Simone
  • "I'm Bad Like Jesse James" by John Lee Hooker
  • "April Sonata" by Adrian Younge

Trivia

• This is the only episode in the season in which all regular characters appear.
• In this episode, Zip refers to Domingo's guns as "that John Blaze s***". While it may be a reference to Ghost Rider, it's most likely a reference to one many aliases of the rapper Method Man, who in turn took the name from the Marvel comics character.
