The album features guest appearances from frequent collaborator Lil Pump, as well as Denzel Curry, Ty Dolla Sign, Lil Skies, Moneybagg Yo and Trippie Redd. Smokepurpp describes it as his "best body of work."
Background
Smokepurpp released his debut commercial mixtape Deadstar in September 2017.{{cite web|url=http://www.xxlmag.com/rap-music/new-music/2017/09/smokepurpp-deadstar-mixtape/|title=Smokepurpp's 'Deadstar' Is Finally Here|publisher=XXL|last=Weinstein|first=Max|date=September 28, 2017|accessdate=December 14, 2019}} He announced its sequel Deadstar 2 in mid-2018.{{cite web|url=https://www.xxlmag.com/news/2019/01/smokepurpp-interview-deadstar-2/|title=Smokepurpp Breaks Down Songs Featured on 'Deadstar 2' Project|date=January 10, 2019|accessdate=December 14, 2019|publisher=XXL|last=Berry|first=Peter A.}} The initial track listing showed Lil Pump and Gunna as featured artists. The album was delayed and sometimes even scrapped multiple times, due to being leaked online before its release. A track that was originally set to be on the album has also leaked, titled "No Problem" and features Kanye West. In an interview, Smokepurpp revealed he had to omit the track from the record due to Kanye West giving up on putting out secular music.
Artwork
Smokepurpp revealed the album's cover art on November 3, 2019.{{cite news|url=https://hypebeast.com/2019/11/smokepurpp-stevie-video-deadstar-2|title=Smokepurpp Unveils 'Deadstar 2' Album Cover Artwork|last=Estiler|first=Keith|date=November 3, 2019|accessdate=December 14, 2019|newspaper=Hypebeast}} It is inspired by a photograph of grunge icon Kurt Cobain, taken two months before his death. Similarly, the album's prequel, Deadstar also references a rock artist on its cover artwork, GG Allin, particularly an image of his open casket.{{cite web|url=https://genius.com/a/heres-the-kurt-cobain-photo-that-inspired-smokepurpps-deadstar-2-album-art|title=Here's The Kurt Cobain Photo That Inspired Smokepurpp's 'Deadstar 2' Album Art|publisher=Genius|last=Kelley|first=Caitlin|date=December 13, 2019|accessdate=December 14, 2019}}
