He continued tweeting about the collaboration: giving details about the featured artists, that he is mixing the record (prepared to release it "ASAP"), and even posted a sneak peek of the beat. Minaj replied to the tweets of Beatz saying "shhhhh coming soon..." Later, Beatz revealed that a song by him featuring Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj and 2 Chainz is planned to be released soon.

On August 23, Swizz Beatz released the cover artwork for the record and announced that the song will "drop that today." It premiered, as planned, on radio station Hot 97 during DJ Funkmaster Flex's segment.

The music video was shot on June 29, 2013 by Taj Stansberry. After the song was released on August 23, Beatz confirmed that the video is "on the way." The video was canceled due to unknown reasons.
