Both tracks appear on Rhymes’ recent LP, Blockbusta, which dropped in November via Conglomerate Ent./Epic Records. The rapper executive produced the album alongside Pharrell Williams, Timbaland, and Swizz Beatz.

The album marks Rhymes’ 10th studio release and follows 2020’sExtinction Level Event 2: The Wrath of God, which featured team-ups with Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Rick Ross, Anderson .Paak, Mary J.
