The project is lead by the single "L3V3L." The track is produced by Three 6 Mafia member DJ Paul. Vicious told HipHopDX how the song came together: “So it took me a year to come up with something to that beat,” Vicious said. “He made that for me and it was in my email for a year. I was in a Lyft and I played the beat and the first thing that came to me was the opening bar. I went to the studio and laid it and here we are now. Three 6 Mafia was an impact on my style. I got roots in Memphis, so this is full circle.”
Breakthrough is Vicious' first solo effort since his 2018 project, Traplantic.
