Tyler, the Creator teased the announcement of Camp Flog Gnaw 2023 while making a cameo in Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem's new music video, "The Hillbillies." In doing so, he displayed a "Camp Flog Gnaw 2023" button on a jacket in front of Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Tyler didn't provide any further details in the video.
As for the new track, Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem interpolate Drake’s “Sticky” off his 2022 album Honestly, Nevermind, while sampling Bon Iver’s 2020 single, “PDLIF.” It's the latest of several tracks Lamar and Keem have teamed up for, following “N95,” “Die Hard,” “Range Brothers,” “Savior,” “Nile,” and "Family Ties." For the latter, the pair took home the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance.

Lamar and Keem will be performing at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee from June 15 to 18. Keem previously supported Lamar on The Big Steppers tour in 2022. It ended up becoming the highest-grossing rap tour of all time with a total revenue of $110,886,026. Lamar promoted his fifth studio album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, with the shows.
While Tyler, the Creator didn't collaborate on the album, he did have massive praise for it during a Converse All-Star Series. “[It’s] so open and honest that some people can't listen to it,” Tyler said at the time. “Because they probably feel like he's looking at them in their eyes. And they're like, ‘Uhhh, I can't panic. I can't listen to this. Put on something else so I can hit my dougie.’” He added: “We gotta cut the bullshit and be more honest. And that’s what Kendrick is doing with his new album.”
