Background

On April 20, 2018, Durk was featured in an exclusive interview with Respect., in which he described the inspiration for the mixtape, by saying:

It's a fresh new sound and [it's] about me doing just what I want to do. The cover was inspired by just [having] natural swag, I [liked] the picture so I decided to make it the face of the project.[5]

Dean Van Nguyen of Pitchfork wrote "It's the only wasted motion on Just Cause Y'all Waited, which will likely go down as a minor release in Durk's canon. Even so, this mixtape is a reminder that he's one of his city's most compelling correspondents."
