The album (whose title got the sign-off from Nas) is executive produced by Grammy-winning producer Hit-Boy and co-executive produced by Kanye West. Game has talked a lot about his connection with Hit-Boy, previously saying that the pair created nine songs in just three days. He's also said that he had several samples to clear for the project, including seven from Jay-Z.
On his IG post, Game details why the release date was pushed back, and how he really wanted to put 30 songs on the album but was talked out of it.
"My apologies for the delay but fans sometimes don’t understand how hard it is behind the scenes trying to clear samples on over 30 records & to get publishing splits, agreements, mixes approved, featured artists agreements & a million other things done in order to have a clean, flawless album put together & released," Game said.
What I can guarantee you is that I personally put my heart & soul into this album from beginning to the end & anyone who’s come by my studio or heard this album will tell you that it is everything you expected it to be. Everyone also wanted me to not put 30 songs on my album which again held us up due to the amount of music I’m pushing out but I felt & always feel my fans deserve more. This date gives me time to properly set up, get visually prepared & present to you another classic. I appreciate all of you for being patient throughout this process with me & I can’t wait for you to hear what we’ve done."
