Release


The album's lead single, "Cnt Go Back (Tell Me)", was released January 16. Pitchfork's Dylan Green called it a song about keeping faith despite not knowing the future. He highlighted Pink Siifu's lyrics "Everything's gonna turn around someday/Everything gonna make sense, let's pray", and Maurice II saying "Somebody full of fear, somebody ain't/Minding they business, wanna talk about how I move," as a statement of being done with naysayers. The track opens with Siifu's crooning voice over a "crisp drum pattern and bass", then transitions halfway through where the instrumental "stutters and wears down", leading to Maurice's "mellow, flatly-delivered verse" joined by "ghostly coos" from Liv.e, Jimetta Rose, and V.C.R.
The second single, "Wassup", was released on Valentine's Day, and features contributions from Devin Morrison, Pher Turner, and MoRuf. "Wassup" also came with a music video directed by Matt Zolly and Noah Porter. The song is "hazy, stretched-out", and comes with "a whole lot of melody in Ahwlee's staggered groove, and Pink Siifu rap[ping] in a lovestruck croak." The third single, "Soundgood", was released on March 8, also with features from Liv.e, Jimetta Rose, & V.C.R. The "Soundgood" release also came with an announcement of the album's full track list, revealing more features including Ladybug Mecca of Digable Planets, Quelle Chris, Big Rube, and Fousheé.
