Background[]
AJ From The 9 reportedly first started working on the mixtape right after the re-release of his Free Mason mixtape in April of 2012. At the time, the mixtape was to be released through SB Records and AJ From The 9's new promo team Legendary Records until Legendary and AJ From The 9 had a falling out the following year. The mixtape is to be entirely produced by AJ From The 9 and is going to be a full 80 minutes. In September of 2012, AJ From The 9 released the first promo single "BowFlex" which featured Riverside rapper One-Six. Soon afterward, in order to promote himself and keep his name relevant, he also released verses on A$AP Rocky's "Fucking Problem" and Drake's "Started From The Bottom". It wasn't until April 10th, 2013 when AJ From The 9 released the lead single & title track "Double Cupped & Swisher Blunts", following it up with a music video on June 21st. In between BowFlex & Double Cupped & Swisher Blunts, AJ From The 9 also released a promo video for a song titled "Work", directed by Mikey O English and a demo version of a track called "Turnt", both of which wont appear on the final tracklist of the mixtape. In July, AJ From The 9 released a soundcloud-only promo track titled "Cypher$#!+" featuring Exampl, which would later be replaced with an updated version also featuring Mikey O English that September. AJ From The 9 spent the remainder of the summer & fall working on the mixtape. After having pushed back his release dates numerous times, the mixtape was ultimately slated for Summer of 2014. The mixtape is set to be released through Coast 2 Coast mixtapes and receive several promotional & distribution services.
