1176 (album)

The album was named after the address of Guapdad 4000's childhood home in West Oakland.[3] It was described as a bridge between Asian and American culture, with Guapdad 4000 spotlighting his Filipino heritage on the album. It is the first album to be released with Paradise Rising, a joint venture with 88rising.[4] In a statement, Guapdad 4000 spoke on the collaboration with !llmind saying "If !llmind had a power it would be to shapeshift, he can do anything. Something like this comes in handy when you need to tell the full spectrum of your story like I did in this music. I had no idea we would stumble upon something this magical though but I guess I should have known that linking up with my Filipino brother would enhance my super powers!"[5][6]

The album was supported by two singles before the release: "How Many" on February 12, 2021, and "She Wanna" on March 9, 2021.[7][8]

Stephen Kearse of Pitchfork wrote that Guapdad 4000 "sinks into a more reflective mood", stating the album "is clearly meant to depart from the seedy hijinks of Guapdad's previous music."[9] Aaron Williams of Uproxx felt that the album "highlights those aspects of his Filipino heritage as he shares some of his most vulnerable and personal material yet."[10]
