As he got older, 5AM ZERI began to write only when a certain beat or artist inspired him to. While he was pursuing a sports career at the time, ZERI eventually realized people liked his music decided to pursue it full-time. In March of 2017, 5AM ZERI and his cousins, Pharid and Arya, teamed up to release his first track. he moved to Vancouver, BC, shortly after and hasn't looked back since.

Made up of 18 tracks, the album has a perfect amount of variety. From distorted vocal synthesizers to light guitar strums, each song was created with the intent of leaving a legacy behind. The tracks on the album were produced by Krev Mack, Brett Murphy, Highly Collectible, Sasha Bishop, Sam Riddell, Will Jackson, Adam Castillo, and Reuben Lincoln, with features by SAR, Aka Dre, Leela, and Vegemike.
