Both projects have over 500,000 downloads on mixtape site DatPiff.

Notes
  • "Stay" was recorded in 2009. Cole revealed in an interview with MTV that the song was intended for his debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story, but he never brought the beat from No I.D.. Rapper Nas eventually used the beat on his 2012 release Life Is Good in a song titled by the same name.
  • "Cousins" was also featured on Bas' mixtape, "Quarter Water Raised Me Vol. II".
