Background
The album arrived during a period of detention and reached number one regardless, which is unusual and says a great deal about the relationship between his audience and the traditional promotional machinery he had no access to. He was released from custody in October 2021.
The title
Using his legal first name rather than a stage name was a deliberate framing. The record is more inward-looking than Top, and the writing returns repeatedly to family, isolation and the cost of the legal situation he was in.
Reception
It is generally treated as the stronger of the two Atlantic-era number ones, and the closest he had come at that point to a coherent album rather than a collection.
