Release and promotion
editThe 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
editThe 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]
