Rolling Stone ranked Period 26th in theirlist of 2018’s best hip-hop albums, and its breakout hit single ‘Fuck Dat N*gga’proved hugely popular with club DJs and audiences alike. After Quality Controlincluded the track on the label’s compilation album Control the Streets Vol. 1,the track reached No 5 on the Billboard 200 and No 1 on Billboard’s R&B andHip-Hop charts.
