In an interview with XXL, Pusha had previously confirmed plans for a new project following his critically-acclaimed, Grammy-nominated 2022 release, It's Almost Dry.
“I’m working on a special mixtape,” he said, adding that he wanted to release a mixtape to "have the fun I want to have." “What I’m trying to do is restore the feeling in every aspect of this subgenre of music. And just of this cloth, of this taste level. I’m just trying to make people realize how viable this is. To show people that I can’t do what you do, but you definitely can’t do what I do. I have to show those differences. That’s the whole premise behind the mixtape.”
Drama and Pusha's mixtape will arrive in 2023.
