Background

In regard to RZA's contributions to the album, Method Man explained, "RZA was the first name I said when I spoke to

Jay Z, when he signed off on the album budget. I’m happy with the outcome, but I think RZA could have had a little bit more input, but he was busy at the time."[11] "This is just more RZA on production, shit like that. But some of the shit I couldn't do, because some of these producers were screaming out these niggas want a $100,000 for a track. Fuck that! Kiss my ass. I'm not paying nobody a $100,000 for shit, unless I can live in that mothafucka."[12]

Method Man explained the album's title: "The national weed smoking day is 4/20, so I named my album 4/21 the day after. Because after that day, you have this moment of clarity when you’re not high and you see things clearly."[13]

Commercial performance

4:21... The Day After debuted at number eight on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 62,000 copies in its first week. It was Method Man's fifth consecutive top-ten album in the United States.[14]
