Redan 2017 avslöjade Redman att han och Busta Rhymes spelat in en låt och video till skivan som av allt att döma är samma projekt. I en intervju med Combat Jack, som också avled samma år, sa Wu-Tang-rapparen:

“Rest in Peace, Phife Dawg. I was blessed to be in his last days before he died. Me, him and Busta [Rhymes] shot a video. Now, when I tell you this new Phife Dawg album is ridiculous, yo! He just sitting to wait to get the right deal so it can come out. But we got a video — me, Busta and Phife Dawg. His album is like some old back-in-the-day — yo, his album is ridiculous. That’s what I’m really looking for.”

A Tribe Called Quest sista album “We Got It from Here… Thank You 4 Your Service” släpptes 2016, bara några månader efter Phife Dawgs död.
