    Artwork

    The mixtape's cover art is a photograph of a porn actress Lethal Lipps drinking a bottle and putting her hand down her dress while Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire passes out in a bathtub in the background.[4] It was shot on the day his grandmother had a stroke and almost died.[4] He drank a lot of Cîroc and passed out in a bathtub in his house.[4] In a 2012 interview with Billboard, he said, "That picture is really about how fucked up my life was at that time."[4]
