Background
The mixtape was announced on January 15, 2021, alongside the cover art and the release of the single "Guard Up".[ 7] Following its release, Shiesty stated that it was "well overdue and well anticipated".[ 8] It was released less than a year after he signed to Gucci Mane 's 1017 Records , thanks to his viral track "Shiesty Summer".[ 9] Prior to its release, Shiesty had released various singles through the label and appeared on the label compilation So Icy Summer .[ 10]
According to Shiesty, the mixtape sees him "switching it up a lot. I got songs from every genre".[ 9] In an interview with Zane Lowe , he said, "You getting Big Shiest on this mixtape — I'm touching on all categories. Expect me getting versatile. It's lit. You can expect some big features, shooting a video to every song on there. We're going all the way up".[ 11] Stereogum ' s Tom Breihan said the mixtape contains "eerie beats, weirdly catchy death-threats, tons of atmosphere. Rather than shooting for crossover ubiquity, Pooh is doing one thing really well";[ 1] as noted by The Fader ' s Jordan Darville, the mixtape mainly sees Pooh Shiesty "display a slouched flow hinting at an effortlessness to his skills",[ 12] as he details his heavy weaponry and his love for guns in his signature Memphis drawl.[ 13] Shiesty stated, "I got big features, big producers on here and I got my main producers I been rocking with".[ 8]
