The album has found its way on numerous hiphop sites such as 2DopeBoyz, Funkmaster Flex, DJ Enuff, and DJ Booth
The first single off the album was "You DonâÂÂt Know". The second single was "Laybach".
A video was shot for âÂÂYou DonâÂÂt Know" in North Carolina by Vinark Motion Pictures. A second video, "LayBach" ft Carringtion, was also planned.
Grungecake magazine stated that the album was short and sweet. London was able to show his skills by switching flows and riding the beat differently on each song. They would also go on to write that Drique London is a relatable artist, in the vein of most of North CarolinaâÂÂs most known Hip-Hop artists: J. Cole, Little Brother (group) and Rapsody.
