Background

Smino announced the mixtape on his website by posting the link on social media.[3] The mixtape was put together while self-isolating, with some of the songs being recorded in 2020.[4] The website included a statement from Smino, referring to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States,[5] saying:

I made [this] shit at the crib [for real, trying to] stay sane and inspired as much as I can mane, been smoking distancing from [the] world. Crazy how hard distance hit... Shit different [right now]. So I just cooked some fun shit, real free shit. Ain't [nothing] perfect, all unmastered and raw.[6]

The mixtape was also intended to serve as a teaser, prior to the release of his third studio album.[7] In an interview with Wonderland, Smino spoke on his dedication to a life of creativity and success saying, "it makes it harder to have some shit to relate to, or have shit other people relate to, because you're just not there anymore. That's why I try and stay real."[8]
