On 2 August 2024, Rocky revealed to Zane Lowe during an interview and conversation on Apple Music 1, amongst other topics, about an upcoming song titled "Hood Happy" featuring Fatman Scoop, Flavor Flav, Slick Rick, Morrissey and Busta Rhymes.[12]

On August 22, 2024, during an interview for a Billboard cover story, Rocky announced that the album had been delayed from August 30 to sometime during fall of 2024.[13] Rocky would later expand on this the same day via X, explaining that sample clearances and leaks were the reason for the delay.[14]
