Background

In December 2021, Trippie announced in a now-deleted Instagram story that he was working on the mixtape. [1]

The mixtape's track listing was announced on July 24, 2023. [2] The second single for the mixtape, "Last Days" was released the next day, on July 25, 2023. [3] On August 3, 2023, it was announced that the mixtape's release would be delayed by one week from August 4 to August 11 due to sample clearance issues. Instead, the mixtape's third single, "Left 4 Dead" would later on be released on August 4, 2023. [4]

Critical reception

Writing for Clash, Shanté Collier-McDermott praised the mixtape's themes, stating: "Redd does well to continuously write raw relevant music. The mixtape is vulnerable and showcases a special level of artistry as he delves into several different pockets of love songs." [5] In his review for Slant Magazine, Paul Attard writes that the mixtape was an improvement over Mansion Musik, but not "particularly noteworthy". [6] HipHopDX 's Ben Brutocao criticized the album's production and writing, concluding: "The constituent tracks are nearly all dispassionate, market-tested gruel. It's as romantic as a Hallmark Valentine's card, and sonically interesting as whatever is playing in Macy's whenever you happen to stroll by." [7]
