Production
Iamsu! incorporates live instrumentation on Kilt II, which he says "is more musical than anything I've done before. I played instruments on here. I experimented with vocoder. I composed most of the music and worked with a lot of talented musicians. I tried a lot of new sounds."
Release and promotion
In May 2013 Iamsu! begun his first headlining tour, in promotion of his at the time upcoming mixtape Kilt II.
Iamsu! premiered the music video for the mixtape's first track, "Father God" via Rolling Stone on July 2, 2013. He explained the background of the song to them saying, "Everybody has their perspective on religion in hip-hop, and lately there's been a lot of talking down on it. So when it came time to write this song, I just felt like praying on the chorus. I believe there is a God and that I owe him a great deal. I've been blessed."[14]
On August 6, 2013, the Tank featuring "Let Go" produced by Tha Bizness, was released as the mixtape's lead single.[15] On October 14, 2013, the music video for "Hipster Girls" was released.[16] On December 3, 2013, "Hipster Girls" was released as the album's second single.[17]
