Background


The album is named for the Ruff Ryders Entertainment A&R and record producer Ignatius "Icepick Jay" Jackson, who died in 2017.[10] He is featured on the center of the album's cover art.


Release


Initially planned for a February 28, 2020 release date, the album was released on March 6, 2020.[9][10] Jadakiss delayed the album's release out of respect due to the death of Pop Smoke,[10][11] a 20-year-old American rapper who was murdered on February 19 by masked gunmen during a home invasion in the Hollywood Hills.[12][11]
