The second single from the album, called "Chief Don't Run" was released on June 27, 2016, which features guest vocals from fellow American singer Roman GianArthur whom he had previously collaborated with on "Classic Man earlier in 2015.

On May 17, 2017 Jidenna announced that he was going on his 24-city "Long Live the Chief Tour" for the summer to support the record, beginning on July 20 in Raleigh, North Carolina and finishing up in Vancouver on August 27.

said, "Just as Jidenna uses hip-hop music to convey the story of an immigrant, he reaches across the globe to pull from seemingly disparate genres as he tells his tales.

He’ll still have to continue to get listeners familiar with what makes the man behind the music tick, but The Chief is an admirable beginning to what appears to be a blossoming career.

"[1] Andy Kellman of AllMusic said, "What's thrown, including tepid trap beats, passable tropical pop-house, and overly fanciful retro-contemporary touches, doesn't always stick, yet Jidenna's charismatic flair and sharp writing make almost all of it entertaining, rarely dull.

In a way, he's a Kid Creole for the 2010s, mixing and matching old and new cross-continental sounds with a twinkle in his eye, a glide in his stride, and a special knack for storybook-style narration.
