-In early June 2008, Kardinal released the ''Limited Time Only'' mixtape, which features six songs that will appear on the album.

-Kardinal originally got the idea for the album title from a custom-made T-shirt. The T-shirt read "Not 4 Sale", and had a bar code on it. Kardinal stated why he chose ''Not 4 Sale'' as the title:
-{{quote|My idea was something provocative—that went beyond gender, went beyond race, went beyond what type of music you're into. And people would literally stop me on the street, telling me how dope the shirt was, how similarly they felt. The concept grew in my head based on that reaction. There's energy you can't buy—the essence of people that can't be bought or bottled, and lives within them. That's how I feel about myself—I can't be bought.<ref name=konvict3/>}}
-The [[Toronto]]-based rapper's album features established artists such as [[Clipse]], [[Rihanna]], [[Akon]], [[T-Pain]], [[Estelle (musician)|Estelle]], and [[The-Dream]].<ref name=konvict5>[http://www.rap-up.com/2008/07/01/kardinal-offishall-new-album-due-august-5/ Kardinal Offishall New Album Due August 5]</ref> The website [http://iamnot4sale.com IAmNot4Sale.com] was used to promote the album.
-==Sales and reception==
