Background

[edit]

In an interview with Complex, about his last studio album As Seen on the Internet, Futuristic said,

I really do not like my last album, no. And I don't know if it's because all the emotions that came with making it, and finishing it, and it didn't necessarily live up to what I thought it was gonna do. I think that I had a lot of eyes and a lot of ears on me, and I don't think I delivered what I should have, because I was caught up in this idea that I had already had for years, that I just finally was like, "Okay, I'ma do it this way," but it didn't really make sense anymore.[2]
