Background
On August 18, Bas was on Instagram live previewing songs from his album, which was due on August 24. One of the snippets were from "Tribe" showcasing an "an up-tempo, percussive instrumental," and later revealing the release date of the single.[3][4] The song is ninth collaboration between the two Dreamville artists, including "My Nigga Just Made Bail", "Lit" and "Night Job", amaong others.[5][6] When talking about J. Cole helping with the post-production of the song, Bas said:
I learned a lot with this project just you know, really taking the time leaving no stone unturned. Especially nowadays, people are conditioned to hear things a certain way like trap drums are so popular. So it’s like adding some hi-hats and switching the snare there, and throwing the 808 is going to make the difference some kid connecting or not connecting with it.[7]
Music video
The music video for the song was released on August 22.[8] The video was shot in Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood.[9] Sidney Madden of NPR said, "like the song's message, the video celebrates the timing of life's blessings."[10]
