The uplifting album continues with 23 songs in total with stand-out collaborations including "F**k Fame" featuring Lil Baby & Lil Yachty and the outro "Jersey Numbers" featuring Rylo Rodriguez .

"Thank you for everything," Rod wrote in an Instagram hours before the album dropped.

"Thank you for allowing me to live out my dream was truly a blessing," he continued. "thank you for helping me take care my kids and family, thank you for the hard times as well the constructive criticism the ups the down thank you for the good the bad."
