Described by Badu as "TRap & B", this mixtape takes influence from hip hop, R&B, jazz, and art rock, with lyrics that focus on the themes of communication, notably through phones, with lyrics that touch upon ideas of "missed connections, call waiting, answering machines".
After receiving a remix of "Bag Lady" from producer Zach Witness, Badu contacted him and the pair met and went to Witness's home in Dallas, Texas, working out of his bedroom studio. They recorded the album in 11 days.
The mixtape debuted at number 14 on the Billboard 200, generating 35,000 album-equivalent units in its first week.
