During his album listening session in NYC, Cole wanted to tell a story before he hit play. He explained the journey he'd been on since signing his Roc Nation deal in 2009 and the events that led up to the new track "Let Nas Down." He admitted that the period after he released Friday Night Lights was very painful.

"The next six months of my life was literally hell, which is what this album is about," he explained. "Going through hell, tryna make it to heaven, going through depression, trying to make it to happiness. The next six months of my life, I was making some of the worst, most uninspired music of my life."
