In an interview with MTV, Jeezy explained why he chose not to release a regular studio album to showcase his crew.
“ | "It's crazy," Jeezy said in a statement. "I wanted to do it mix tape-style 'cause I wanted it to be something for the streets. It's like Trap or Die on steroids. I love that. It's a street album, just raw." | ” |

"Cold Summer" is the second single released from Fuel's album Puppet Strings. The song dates back to the early 00's before the band's 2003 album Natural Selection. According to Scallions the band had recorded the song several times and lost hope in it until producer Eddie Wohl convinced Scallions to record it for Puppet Strings.
Song composed by Brett Scallions and Eddie Wohl. Ken Schalk is credited to performing drums on this track, however, left the band before the release of Puppet Strings.
A music video was filmed in Agoura Hills, CA and features Scallions as a pool boy who stumbles in to a party.
Come, come over me
Dark waters, drowning hope
Images shattered by dimness
A place so full of void and disease
The swollen vagina of sickness opens
So inviting and warm, unveiling my call to perdition
Rotten blood drained straight from my arteries
Rust in my mouth, the foul stench of lovely perversion
Your sickness divine
Architets of my suffering
Driving my way to my self-annihilation
Embracing impurity
Tearing away every piece of my smile
Adrift in a sea of unlimited obscurity
I welcome my curse with outstretched arms
And rejoice
Starvation comes, grief-filled sobriety
Loaded on angst, bloated on disgusting misery
Your sickness divine
Collapsing the sane
Life fills me with disgust.
Life fills me with disgust.
