Unlike O.C.'s previous two LPs, Starchild does not feature any guestspots at all (Pharoahe Monch is featured on the first song "Evaridae" but only sings the hook) and was also his first album to not feature any production or help from his crewmembers in D.I.T.C. (especially producer Buckwild has been a driving force in all three previous O.C. projects to this).
