The album was tentatively scheduled for release in spring 2013 and was pushed back for another year. However, no update regarding its release date was provided for two years. Pending the release of the posthumous album, eight tracks have surfaced as singles. Alapatt explained the lengthy delay: "Just unpacking the files, finding the software that [Dilla] used, getting it again, because at that point it was already archaic, unpacking the files so that we can actually look at them, took years. Literally years. Bear in mind, we were able to get some low-hanging fruit earlier than we were able to get others, that's how the Ruff Draft record with the instrumentals and unreleased tracks were able to come out. That was easy to find. It was really well labeled. The record had already come out, so we had a reference point, you know what I'm saying? It was quite simple. This record was a pain in the fucking ass."
