“In the abstract, it’s meant to be a video about childhood-growing up as an artist and the highs and lows of that experience. “To build it out I asked Malcolm’s family to send me bits and pieces from his childhood, scenes from the town where he grew up, objects, toys from his room-little pieces of his life that I extrapolated outwards and used to inspire the story,” Mason told Pitchfork about the making of the video. The premiere of the tape on streaming services was announced exactly one month ago, accompanied by an animated music video for the track “Colors and Shapes” directed by Sam Mason. There’s also a bonus track that was added for the re-release called “Yeah.” Earl Sweatshirt, meanwhile, produced two songs, “Polo Jeans” and “New Faces,” both of which he also features on.Īdditional features throughout the tracklist come from Vince Staples, Da$h, ScHoolboy Q, Rick Ross, Mike Jones and Sir Michael Rocks.

Thundercat, DrewByrd, Rahki, THC, Big Jerm & 9th Wonder assisted with production for one song each.

The majority of the 23 songs on the tape were produced by Miller himself.
