Release and promotion[edit]

In April 2018, Radamiz revealed his signing to the newly relaunched Payday Records as well as announcing a follow up to Writeous, telling HipHopDX that "I didn't get signed off what I released, I got signed off what I'm working on."[1] On May 18, 2018, Radamiz released his first single "V.I.M.", produced by New York producer, V'Don. "V.I.M." earned his first appearance on Ebro Darden's show on Beats 1 radio on May 21, 2018.

On September 21, 2018, Radamiz released his second single "NYNYNYNY", which he described to Passionweiss as "Just New York anxiety. Of course you're going to get the slow, mellow, smoking a blunt on a cold winter, rap. But you're going to get the introspective shit also." Five months later, Radamiz released his third single, "Save the Youth" featuring History and Tedy Andreas that was featured in Need for Speed Heat.[2]

On September 12, 2019, the album's fourth and final single, "Fake Gucci", produced by Statik Selektah was premiered with Billboard. With the announcement, Radamiz also revealed the album's release date of October 4, 2019.[3] Two weeks later, he released the music video to "Fake Gucci".[4] From September 20 till the day of release, Radamiz unveiled daily the tracklist on social media for Nothing Changes If Nothing Changes.
