N9NA Collections

The full-length was preceded by two four-track extended plays: N9NA Collection 1, which was released on November 2, 2018,[6] and N9NA Collection 2, which was released on March 8, 2019.[7] Songs "N9NA", "Hit the Ground Running", "Chuki Fever" and "H.O.B." were included in the first EP, and the second one was composed of "I Caught Crazy! (4Ever)", "EDI's", "F.T.I. 2.0" and "Death Threats".

The song "Death Threats" is not present on the full LP, as it, along with the song, "My Own Zone," couldn't fit into the album's runtime.
