Young Thug kept the initial announcement simple, tweeting:

"It's time, Red Planet."

Bold acronym "WWBD," on the "What Would Brian Do" tee, is one of the most-talked-about items. This design pays tribute to Young Thug's lawyer, Brian Steel. Included in this limited-edition box set is a design that playfully honors Steel's role in Thug's legal struggle, as well as the CD.
