The final single, "We Uh Shoot" featuring Lil Durk, dropped on August 2, 2024.
Polo G first hinted at the album's release in January 2024 during an interview with TMZ, where he confirmed an August release. On March 24, 2024, he performed the unreleased track "Heavy Heart" on From The Block. On July 30, 2024, Polo G officially announced the album's release date, cover art, and guest appearances. The full tracklist was revealed on August 6, 2024, just days before the album’s release. After the album dropped, Polo G released the music video for "Darkside," the fourteenth track on the album.
