The rap game is infamous for pitting artists against each other, but when the reporter inquired about the idea of his album going up against Cardi B’s, he said, “Never, never. Nah, nah, nah, I just want all peace, man, for us to win, everybody gotta win.

The project includes features from YoungBoy Never Broke Again, YFN Lucci, Gunna, JID, Key Glock, Teezo Touchdown, John Legend, and Ty Dolla $ign, with the deluxe adding CeeLo Green and BNYX.
