On September 21, 2018, Radamiz released his second single "NYNYNYNY", which he described to Passionweiss as "Just New York anxiety. Of course you're going to get the slow, mellow, smoking a blunt on a cold winter, rap. But you're going to get the introspective shit also." Five months later, Radamiz released his third single, "Save the Youth" featuring History and Tedy Andreas that was featured in Need for Speed Heat.[2]

On September 12, 2019, the album's fourth and final single, "Fake Gucci", produced by Statik Selektah was premiered with Billboard.
