He also posted a picture of the album's track list on Instagram. Juicy J and Wiz Khalifa were listed at the top of the picture, and beneath their names was the title that said, "Prod. by TM88", which suggested that TM88 had done the production on all of the songs.[2] On May 7, 2016, Wiz hinted at the album title in a tweet and said that the project would be released the following week.[3]

On May 13, their first official single from the album, titled "All Night" was released on iTunes.[5][6]
