Background
On 5 October 2017, Belly was interviewed by Zane Lowe on his radio show on Beats 1 and announced the project's title, in which he called Boi-1da the executive producer. He also talked about how the mixtape came to fruition, Boi-1da's involvement and reclaiming what the title phrase meant in rap, by stating

"It started with me and Boi-1da. We've always wanted to worked together. We've always been big fans of each other. We've done one-off songs in the past. We wanted to do a full project, something special. He produced like 75 percent of it. I wanted to snatch the word back. I want when people say mumble rap now, they're going to think of this, one of the greatest rap projects ever put out. That's what I want people to think."
