Background

Kodak took to Instagram to announce his third studio album on October 26, 2020, while serving a 46-month prison sentence.[6] In this post, Kodak revealed the project's title, length, and cover art, which features Kodak alongside a Rabbi, surrounded by doodles. Many of the sketches are religious, such as the multiple crosses, a Star of David, and "#THESTAROFDAVID". These are in reference to Kodak's Hebrew Israelite identity, which he discovered while he was incarcerated after studying scripture with Priest Kahan, a teacher who served as a prison chaplain.[7]

On November 5, 2020, Kodak Black published the album's tracklist.[8] Similar religious imagery to the front cover art is also present on the tracklist.

Commercial performance

Bill Israel peaked at number 20 on the US Billboard 200 with 16,000 album-equivalent units.[9][10]
