He officially announced the album, along with its cover art and track listing, on March 10, 2023.^[1] The album's lyrical content differs from his typical gang- and street-related themes; on the album, he raps about the pain he has endured from seeing his friends die and the process of his mental recovery, which inspired the album's title.
