Background

In July 2014, Danny Brown announced that his group Bruiser Brigade would release their debut album, tentatively titled Reign Supreme in October of that year. [1] In a March 2015 interview, when asked about how far completed the album was, Dopehead replied "A heart beat". [2] The album never released.

Danny Brown started streaming on Twitch the Japanese role-playing video game Persona 5 on August 24, 2018. [3] [4] Clips of the Persona 5 streams got attention on Twitter and brought more viewers to his stream. He streamed more Persona 5 the following day, then turned the stream into a live listening party of 12 unreleased songs. [4] He went on to clarify that "This shit ain't coming out, it's only for Twitch" and joked around saying it was the "first Twitch album ever". [5] He said that the songs he previewed were not songs from his new album and that none of the samples had been cleared. [5] [4]
