The album serves as the follow-up to his 2019 album Survival. It may have been four years since his last LP, but that doesn’t mean he was silent. In the last four years, East dropped off mixtapes like Karma 3 featuring collaborations with Jozzy, A Boogie Wit da Hoodie, Benny the Butcher, Bino Rideaux, Doe Boy, Mary J. Blige, Popcaan, Trey Songz, the late Trouble and Young Dolph. He also served up two collaborative projects: Hoffa with Harry Fraud and Book of David with DJ Drama and Buda & Grandz.
Along with the album, East also delivered his new music video for “Hustlers” with Tyga. In the video, both artists hit up a lavish mansion and surround themselves with a plethora of gorgeous women as every hustler should.
