Background

G Herbo said the album was inspired by therapy he took related to his upbringing and misdeeds. He said that he was pushed to go to therapy after being arrested in 2018. He said "When the lawyer told me to go see the therapist, it was really just me embracing it." He said he also wanted the album to raise awareness on the mental issues many people raised in high-crime neighborhoods go through, saying, "I thought it was important for me because I know it's a lot of people who are like me."[3]

Touring

On December 4, 2019, G Herbo announced the PTSD Tour, which would occur from February 10 to March 22, 2020.[4][5] G Herbo later postponed a show in Denver, Colorado due to fears over the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]

A.
