“Me and Alc coming together to showcase our best beats and raps we got, while rapping and collaborating together is just high level,” stated Hit-Boy. “This album is all about life progression. Everything has been a stepping stone to get to this point in life, and this release is definitely a stepping stone to get to the next level.”

To commemorate such a momentous occasion, the pair linked up with Elliott Wilson to host an exclusive album and film screening, at Brain Dead Studios. With a private reception filled with an exquisite  charcuterie board, sparkling wine, a step repeat and unmatched vibes, on-lookers oozed with enthusiasm as they awaited to be seated for the screening.
