The lead single "Elimination Chamber", a posse cut featuring Earl Sweatshirt, Vince Staples and Action Bronson, was released on July 16, 2012.[2] The limited vinyl edition of the mixtape was released on October 1, 2013.
A second vinyl reissue with new cover art and a bonus track, alongside an official CD and streaming release, occurred on April 20, 2023. The Remy Banks-assisted bonus track "Drugs Got Me Spiritual" was first released as a non-album single on April 20, 2013.[3]
The standard version of the cover is originally from a panel of the manga Cage of Eden,[4] and the vinyl cover features the photo of U.S. president Richard Nixon meeting Elvis Presley. The 2023 re-release was designed by Artbyshk.[5] It is a mixture of two images, a frame from the 1991 movie JFK,[6] and the default wallpaper for Windows XP.
