Youngblood Priest is a young cocaine kingpin from Atlanta, Georgia, working the streets since he was brought in by his mentor Scatter at age eleven.

Deciding to set Priest up, Eddie contacts two corrupt police officers to start their long plan to destroy Snow Patrol.

He blackmails the mayor with a sex tape in exchange for a certain file of a convicted drug kingpin and promises he'll win in the upcoming election.

It features 13 new and previously released songs, as well as guest appearances from Miguel, Lil Wayne, Khalid, Ty Dolla Sign, Young Thug, PartyNextDoor, H.E.R., Gunna, Sleepy Brown, and Yung Bans, among others.
