On “A Million,” Tobe celebrates a milestone, singing “I got my first million and it was straight out the mud.” While the focuses on contrasting his prior conditions to his current ones (“I lost some friends while I was broke / But now I got a million”), the second verse sees his remaining true to his character and supporting his people with his newfound seven-figure status (“I brought the whole hood through the door / And now I got a million”).
After breaking out with the viral video for “Try Jesus,” Tobe drew national attention and began working with some of the most noted names in the game. On “Bozos,” he linked with Big KRIT, then he traded verses with two of today’s pound-for-pound best technical rappers Black Thought and Royce Da 5’9″ on “Father Figure.” He and “D Smoke took “Headshots” at haters on their collab, then Houston hometown hero Lil Keke gave his blessing to his potential successor on “Purple Rain Thing.”
