Overview
- Released on Jan. 16, the album arrives after years of postponements and an extended rollout built around high-concept visuals.
- The project leans into cross-genre collaboration, featuring artists such as Doechii, Tyler, The Creator, Gorillaz’ Damon Albarn, Brent Faiyaz, Westside Gunn, Jon Batiste, Thundercat and will.i.am, with cover art by Tim Burton.
- “Stole Ya Flow” is widely interpreted as addressing Drake, with bars referencing Rihanna; the track lists Danny Elfman among its producers alongside ICYTWAT and Kelvin Krash.
- Rocky acknowledged the prevailing interpretation on the New York Times Popcast, saying “I think we all know,” while later downplaying a single target by calling the song “for whoever feels like it’s about them.”
- Early reaction has been mixed on production and select tracks, listeners flagged platform-specific guest differences, and Drake has not publicly responded.
