Background

While XXXTentacion was in prison for false imprisonment, witness tampering, and aggravated battery, he signed with Empire Distribution[1] on exclusively a distribution deal.[2] Empire Distribution made an official announcement on March 2, 2017 while XXXTentacion was still in prison that XXXTentacion's debut album Bad Vibes would be released in Spring 2017.[3][4] Talking to XXL while in prison, XXXTentacion announced 17, I Need Jesus and Members Only Vol. 3 though didn't mention Bad Vibes.

I got this really really, really good album called 17. That’s more of an alternative, R&B sound,” he told us. “Then I’ve got this mixtape called I Need Jesus, which is mainly rap and the underground sound I did. So I’m trying to give my fans and anybody that comes in and listens to me everything with the mixtape and album. And then I want to come out with Members Only Vol. 3. People are gonna be really surprised about the shit I drop[5]

XXXTentacion reaffirmed the announcement of 17, Revenge, Members Only Vol. 3 (With the Members Only collective) and I Need Jesus during an interview with WMIB following his release from prison in March 2017.[6] XXXTentacion later used the app Periscope to talk to his followers and announce the three albums once again.[7] Once again, XXXTentacion didn't mention Bad Vibes.

XXXTentacion later said that 17 would be released after he finished working on "Members Only Vol. 3" with his collective, "Members Only". Members Only Vol. 3 was released on June 26, 2017.[8] He began to preview short snippets on his Instagram page that were later taken down, one of the snippets had the caption "Working on a the album, what do you think?"

Snippets were released showing XXXTentacion in a collaboration with Kodak Black[9] and Juicy J.[10][11] He later announced via his Snapchat story that the release date for 17 was August 25, 2017.[12] In the same story, he claimed that the album would be different from his previous works and more for people with depression.[13]

XXXTentacion previewed snippets on August 6, 2017 via his Snapchat story.[14] The snippets shown XXXTentacion's itunes library with the album being played showcasing a tracklist of 8 songs. XXXTentacion kept his thumb on the feature that showcases the song count on the computer monitor and didn't announce the tracklist as official.[15] The songs showcased in the snippets included “Jocelyn Flores,” “Save Me,” “Fuck Love” featuring Trippie Redd,” “Orlando” and “Ayala (Outro).” XXL's Vernon Coleman called the snippets "very somber".[14]

Ayala is the last name of Geneva, XXXTentacion's former girlfriend.
