The first single off the album is "Shoulder Lean" featuring T.I.. It has received a large amount of airplay on radio stations everywhere and has made the top ten countdown on BET's 106 and Park over thirty days with high success of making number 1 over a single time, overall it remained in the top 5 for over ten days. The single reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 in both Hot Hip Hop/R&B Songs and Rap Tracks. The dance craze that was sparked by the music video was widely entertained by major t.v. music channels. Dro recently confirmed that the second single would be "Rubberband Banks".
