Officially announcing the collaborative project in a recent interview with DJ Vlad, Too Short revealed that Mt. Westmore has dozens of tracks already recorded: "We have recorded somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 songs. Volume 1 will be released in April and the rest of the volumes will follow."
The hip-hop icon continued, "And this is serious shit. We did this because we wanted to do some business ventures together and we wanted to join forces to future tour together," and expressed that "everybody's real sharp on business."
"At the age we’re at is a good time to do a thing like this and kind of extend your career a bit in a different way… The minute we join forces, we get a handful of new business opportunities that none of us would’ve had.”
During his appearance on an MC Serch podcast in December, Too Short revealed more details. He said, "I get a call during the early part of the quarantine from E-40 and Ice Cube going, ‘Man, we feel like we should do an album. Me, you, it’s E-40, Cube, Too Short and Snoop Dogg’."
"And I’m like… ‘E-40 and Too Short are from the Bay, Snoop Dogg and Cube are from L.A. and we are like the West Coast foundation.’ We sat there and was like, ‘Fuck it, let’s do it.’ So, we start coming up with beats." Additionally, in another interview with HipHopDX, the rapper shared that Dr. Dre will feature on the new album.
