Background and promotion

Prior to the release of Anniversary, Tiller was working on a since-scrapped album entitled Serenity, in which he was waiting on sample clearances for to release in 2019. [2] The album was still teased to be his next project, even after Anniversary's release, but was quietly scrapped over the years. [3]

On October 31, 2021, Tiller released a mixtape, Killer Instinct 2: The Nightmare Before, on a private link that he texted to his fans using the community number he had made earlier in 2020. The mixtape featured a variety of freestyles over current beats at the time, including Normani's "Wild Side", Brent Faiyaz's "Gravity" and Busta Rhymes' "New York Shit". This was followed almost three weeks later by his first Christmas EP, A Different Christmas released on November 19. Tiller said the project was inspired by Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber, the latter of whom featured in the song "Lonely Christmas". Tiller's daughter Halo also appears on the closing track. [4]

On August 19, 2023, the mixtape Slum Tiller, Volume One was released exclusively on SoundCloud. This was the first in a series inspired by Detroit rap and the group Slum Village, and was also a way for him to put out new music without the restrictions of sample clearances. Volume 2 was released four months later on November 9, and featured the song "Whatever She Wants". On January 2, 2024, Tiller announced the weekly music program Tiller Tuesdays, which saw him release music on SoundCloud every Tuesday from January 9 to March 12, 2024. [5] Within the program, the third volume of Slum Tiller was also released, on January 23. [6]

On March 19, 2024, the album and its release date was officially announced with a trailer. [7]

Singles

"Outside" was released as the album's lead single on September 8, 2022, which sampled the Ying Yang Twins' 2005 single "Wait (The Whisper Song)". Its music video was released a month later on October 18, and featured an appearance from the Ying Yang Twins themselves. [8] A batch of singles were initially planned for the album after the release of "Outside", but due to sample clearances, the songs were scrapped and removed from the album. [9]

"Whatever She Wants" was released as the album's second single on February 13, 2024. Originally taken from Slum Tiller, Volume 2, the song was released on all streaming platforms after gaining popularity on TikTok, [10] and featured a new second verse, unlike the original SoundCloud version.

"Calypso" was the album's third single, released on March 19, 2024, along with the album's preorder. [11]
