Background
[edit]On August 5, 2022, Ricch wrote a handwritten letter to his fans and posted a picture of it, providing an update on the mixtape and on his life:
Been working hard on this Feed Tha Streets 3 album, getting back to my regular regimen and also been happier than I've been in a long time.
I understand things have escalated quickly and God has taken us to places we never would've imagined possible but I'm here for every challenge and obstacle. Thank You to everybody whose stayed supportive of me through all the glorious moments and all the hard times.
During my process I've been able to work close with some amazing people on a new tech company called, ROLL.
I want to be closer to my fans and show all the sides no one ever sees. I want to show my album process, my new journey of fatherhood and all the things that comes with the life of being RR.[2]
