Background and promotion
[edit]In an interview with Sway Calloway, about the album, Futuristic said that:
"As Seen on the Internet" is a project that I been wanting to do forever and it's basically it came from like, I popped off from doing that nerd rap and what I did was I collab with a big YouTuber and I dropped my video on the same day and we cross promoted them. So we did that and I just got hella fans from it so I was like "If I could do that one time, what would happen if I did a whole album and every song was like that where I grabbed the biggest people from the internet that they're not even in music necessarily just big people from the internet and incorporated them into the album?".[2]
After the release of the album, Futuristic released eleven music videos all directed by Jakob Owens to promote the album.[2]
