Background and release

In March 2017, Scott announced he would be launching his own imprint, under the name of Cactus Jack Records.[5][6] During an interview, Scott said, "I'm not doing it to have financial control over my music. I want first and foremost to help other artists, launch new names, to provide opportunities. I want to do for them what happened to me, but better."[7] In September 2017, Smokepurpp signed to the label, but left sometime later in 2019.[8]

In February 2018, the label signed Sheck Wes in a joint deal with Interscope Records and GOOD Music.[9] In August, Don Toliver was signed to the label.[10] After the release of Scott's third studio album, Astroworld (2018), artists Sheck Wes and Don Toliver began to rise to popularity after they appeared on the album. Wes's June 2017 song "Mo Bamba" went viral in 2018, while Toliver's May 2019 song "No Idea" went viral on the app TikTok in the same year. Wes and Toliver both helped Scott on Astroworld. Wes was featured alongside American rapper Juice Wrld on "No Bystanders" and Toliver was featured on "Can't Say".[11]

On November 29, 2019, Scott released JackBoys merchandise on his website, including a digital album preorder for $10.[12] On December 24, Scott revealed on Twitter that the album would be released within the week.[13] On December 26, a day before the album was released, the cover art and release date were revealed and the song titles were leaked on Shazam.[14]
