Thug spoke about the project during an interview on Hot 97, earlier this week.

The rapper mentioned that he focuses on strategy over emotion when working on music: “strategy. I feel like your flow and your cadence, I feel like all of that comes from strategy.”

He also explained that “Stupid/Asking," and “Drive Slow” are his favorite songs on the project, but that “Road Rage" features the best lyrics.

“See the pussies on the sideline wishin' that I fall/Pull the skeletons out the closet, I'm 'bout to tell it all/Just want my money, my hoes and all my kids to ball/I'm road raging to the millions if I have to crawl,” Thug raps on the chorus.

Thug also appeared in another one of this year's highest-selling albums, Drake's Certified Lover Boy. Thug is featured on the track “Way 2 Sexy," along with Future.
