The album includes the January 2022 single "Eazy" with Kanye West and the single "Stupid" with Big Sean. The album includes the song "The Black Slim Shady", which is a 10-minute diss track aimed at rapper Eminem, and also includes the song "World Tours" featuring Nipsey Hussle, although it remains unplayable on streaming services.

Background
The Game said on his social media profiles that Drillmatic would make listeners "understand" why he is "the best rapper alive", also writing that "This album has a strong hold on being the best album of my career". He had earlier said that part of the reason for the delay, along with sample clearances, was "disloyalty on levels unimaginable by people I've trusted with my heart, money, career & livelihood".

The album was initially scheduled for release on July 8, 2022, but was delayed.

Commercial performance
In the United States, Drillmatic debuted at number twelve on the Billboard 200 chart as The Game's eighteenth charting album in the country. It opened with 25,000 album-equivalent units.
