Background

On October 5, 2017, Belly was featured in an interview on Zane Lowe's Radio show on Beats 1 and announced the project's title, which lists Boi-1da as the executive producer.[3] He also talked about how Mumble Rap came to be, Boi-1da's involvement and reclaiming what the title phrase meant in rap, by stating

"It started with me and Boi-1da. We've always wanted to worked together. We've always been big fans of each other. We've done one-off songs in the past. We wanted to do a full project, something special. He produced like 75 percent of it. I wanted to snatch the word back. I want when people say mumble rap now, they're going to think of this, one of the greatest rap projects ever put out. That's what I want people to think."
