Release and promotion

On August 30, 2022, following the death of Quando's close friend Lul Pab after both Quando and Pab were victims of a drive-by shooting, Quando and YoungBoy released the mixtape's first single, "Give Me a Sign", in memory of Lul Pab and Big Dump, as seen on the single's cover art.[3][4] On October 4, 2022, Rolling Stone conducted an interview with Quando Rondo; in the interview, Quando spoke about the behind the scenes and making of the mixtape.[1] On October 26, 2022, the mixtape's second single, "Cream Soda", was released. The single only featured vocals from Quando Rondo.[5] On November 17, 2022, the mixtape's third single, "Keep Me Dry", was released following its announcement and tracklist reveal on November 16, 2022. The mixtape's fourth and final single, "It's On", was released on November 21, 2022, just four days prior to the release of the project.[6]

Artwork

The mixtape's artwork presents an animated version of Quando and YoungBoy with blue and green bandanas tied to a street sign making references to each of their gang affiliations. YoungBoy — on the left-hand side — has a "38" on the street sign, making a reference to the North 38th St in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; the street on which YoungBoy had grown up.[7] The street was also used as inspiration for YoungBoy's other mixtapes, 38 Baby and 38 Baby 2. The green flag tied to the street sign references the colors of YoungBoy's 4KTrey gang.[8] The reference regarding the green flags have also been used as inspiration for Never Broke Again's compilation, Green Flag Activity.[9] Quando — on the right-hand side — has a "60" on the street sign, making a direct reference to the Rollin' 60s Neighborhood Crips which Quando has both rapped about and spoken about his affiliation with.[10] The blue bandana also makes a direct reference to the Crips as they're heavily associated with the color blue.

Controversy

According to reports, Quando Rondo dissed Lil Durk, King Von, and their respective association with gangs, most particularly in the first verse of the mixtape's fifth cut, "Want Me Dead."[11] Quando begins his verse by taking shots at both King Von and his sister Kayla B, otherwise known as Kayla Bennett as he rapped: "Ha, my favorite opp dead, sister talk too much, no, I don't like the bitch/Lul Timmy rolled her brother up, got stepped on in some Nike kicks." The lyric refers to Von as his "favorite opp" and states that Von's sister, Kayla, talks too much, referring to several of her past interviews in which she speaks about the murder of her brother.[12] Quando further goes into detail about the night of Von's murder as "Timmy," otherwise known as Lul Timm, the solo guest appearance on the mixtape is the alleged murderer of King Von.[13] The diss received a mixed number of response from fans, many taunting Quando about the death of his friend Lul Pabb, others advocating the violent lyrics.[11][12][14]

Furthermore, on the day of the project's release, Quando and YoungBoy received mild backlash from fans after there was a lack of promotion, this was soon followed by a response from YoungBoy where he stated that he and Quando had come to a mutual agreement to not release the project, however, Atlantic Records had gone behind the two artists' back and released the mixtape, uploading it to YoungBoy's official YouTube channel: I had to tell Quando don't nobody care as long as they making dollars off you I've begged for that tape to not be Released and quando respected my wishes/I talk to missionaries everyday inside my home who probably gone ask me about that tape that shit not sitting on top of my heart right but pay attention to what these people promote they are even and don't give a fuck about us."[15][16] The release had led to YoungBoy deleting the mixtape from his YouTube channel as he disapproved of the lyrics after stating that he wants to "stop the violence."[15][16][17]
