In March 2015, Gray began to release singles via SoundCloud, prompting fans to wonder if he was still signed to Collision Records.

On June 20, 2015, Kirk Franklin announced via video live from the main stage at Alive Fest in Ohio that Gray had been signed to his RCA/Sony imprint, Fo Yo Soul, and then introduced Christon's performance.

[4] One month later in an update on his website he confirmed that Franklin and FYS President Ron Hill had approved eight songs already for an upcoming, yet to be named album.

It was later revealed that all eight of those songs made the final album include "Connor McDees", "Blackmail (Black Male)" and "50 Shades".

He did not turn it off and it captured the meeting with Stark as well as Shaban and Gray laying out the initial marketing plan behind the "Connor McDees" video.

On July 29, 2015, Gray, Stark, Shaban, Scott and Baker got together at The Flutter in Columbus OH to begin the final construction of the album.

[7] Over the next few weeks, Stark would take home the instrumentals to "Connor McDees", "50 Shades", "Nowhere" and "My Love is Real" to add elements as a co-producer.

After receiving no marketing plan with two months to go, Tom Drawer decided to delay the album's original October release.

A discussion with RCA radio staff encouraged Gray to add "Open Door (See You Later)" to the album's final track listing.

[12] The track, along with "Stop Me" and "The Glory Part I", were played on ESPN programming throughout March with Gray being an ‘Artist of the Month’.

[13] The album's third single, "Ft. Knox" was released as a free download with pre-order in February 2016 and was also quickly added to Apple Music's ‘Best of the Week’ playlist.

[19] Awarding the album five stars from New Release Today, Mark Ryan states, "Christon Gray has crafted together an incredible piece of art that will touch each area of the soul.

Christon Gray delivers the entire package of that smooth R&B sound with hip hop blending in, while tossing in some contemporary tunes for many fans to enjoy.
