Release and promotion

edit

The album was promoted by four singles: "Chains",[3] "Badass" (with Lil Uzi Vert),[4] "Frosty",[5][6] and "Not Worth It".[7] The album's promotion included several music videos for each of the singles (with the exception of "Badass", the album's second single).

Musical style

edit
 
South Florida rapper Denzel Curry, a frequent ZillaKami collaborator, is featured on the song "Bleach".

The album is described by AllMusic as half hip hop and half hardcore hip hop,[8] and by Rap Reviews as rap metal.[9] Our Generation Music said the album includes "metal-infused" rap rock as well as gentler, "more emotive" tracks.[10] Hot New Hip Hop described the album as rap rock that moves "into heavy metal territory."[11]
