Background

This was the first official studio album release from Da Mafia 6ix as a collective following their mixtapes 6iX Commandments and Hear Sum Evil as well as their collaborative album with Insane Clown Posse titled Reindeer Games.

The album originally was slated to include members DJ Paul, Crunchy Black, Koopsta Knicca, Lord Infamous and Gangsta Boo. This however changed following the death of Lord Infamous in December 2013 and Gangsta Boo's departure from the group in early 2014. [2] However, the album still featured vocals from Lord Infamous recorded before his untimely death. [3] The album also includes a verse from Lord Infamous's son "Lil Infamous".

The album's release date was originally planned for October 31, 2014, but in order to promote the album more was pushed back and the group's second Mixtape Hear Sum Evil was released instead. [4] The group then announced a March 3 release date, [5] but it was pushed back again just three days to March 6.

The Watch What U Wish: Singles-N-Remixes Mixtape is planned to release in 2015. [6]

Critical reception

Watch What U Wish... received generally positive reviews from critics. HipHopDX gave the album a rating of 3.5. out of 5 stating that "Sans Gangsta Boo and lightly seasoned appearances from the late Lord Infamous, “Watch What U Wish” is still a hellishly good time from Da Mafia 6ix." and also "By now, Da Mafia Six completely understands’ their fanbase and doesn’t even attempt to veer outside of that box."
