Background

edit

Classified's EP Tomorrow Could Be... served as the prequel to the album which contained six songs from the album's tracklist. A few months after the release, Classified announced the album in September along with its release date. The first single released off the album "Cold Love" features Tory Lanez.[2] In an interview with The London Free Press, Classified spoke on the album by saying, "I always feel like whatever album I’ve just put out is my best album, but with this one I definitely feel like I’ve hit the spot".[3]

A music video for "Legal Marijuana" was released on October 17, 2018 to mark legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada.[4] The video features him rapping about marijuana and includes an additional line where he mentions Edison Cannabis Company, which is owned by East Coast company OrganiGram.[5] It doesn't appear on the album version of the song.[4]

"Super Nova Scotian," which features an all-star group of performers from the Halifax area, came together over two nights at Classified's home studio in Enfield, Nova Scotia.[6] Among the performers, the song features "Trailer Park Boys" actor Mike Smith, who plays Bubbles, and Tyrone Parsons, who performs under the pseudonym Knucklehead and plays J-Roc's manager T on the series. Before starring on the show, Parsons rapped alongside Classified in the late 1990s Halifax act Ground Squad.[6]
