Promotion

An "old school" commercial was released via Walker's YouTube channel on September 30 to promote the album, which was compared to infomercials for R&B albums from the 1990s.[6] Few days before the actual album release, Walker promoted the album by putting various payphone in various cities painted in the theme of the album. A phone number was to be dialed to listen to the album a few days before release. After the album's release, Walker premiered a special on Beats 1 guest starring Ari Lennox, as part of their R&B Now series.[7]
