Background

Krayzie Bone had been working on his fourth album for nearly 8 years, making it the longest time he has ever spent making a record. The album had been delayed several times before its release. [4] Krayzie Bone had also expressed due to the polarizing response to the album title, in an interview with HipHopDX that he "just want to let everybody know what I don’t mean, because there’s a lot of misconceptions of the title. It doesn’t mean that I’m actually chasing the devil. I’m actually talking about certain things that we pursue in life sometimes that have evil motives behind them. You can be chasing the devil if you’re a politician trying to get power. You can be chasing the devil if you’re a normal person trying to get money and fame. I’m not necessarily saying that it’s evil to chase those things, but when you do it and all you think about is being rich or being that person, that’s something totally different."

Singles

The album's lead single, titled "Cloudy", was released on November 3, 2015. [5]
