Background
The title is presumably taken from Lucas' phone number.[4][5] The mixtape consists of sixteen songs.[6][7] In an interview with HotNewHipHop about how the project came about, Joyner said:
"This project took two years in the making, there's a lot of records that I scrapped, start over, scrapped, start over. There's records that I've made from the very beginning two years ago that I still kept on the project now. So there's a lot of old mixed with new but it's all cohesive".[1]
