Development

[edit]

Keith Gustin began recording The Present Mixtape in 2010 with production from friend and fellow rapper Scoo-B Ru. While Gustin was producer of the tracks as well, he had help with production from Scoo-B Ru as well as the underground record company Tech Man Productions. Gustin also worked alongside J. Cole and Drake when recording the mixtape, though both performers were only featured on track 8 called "In the Mornin'".

Gustin also wrote and recorded "Blue and Green" with Scoo-B Ru as a featured performer. The song is a remix of "Black and Yellow" by Wiz Khalifa who has had a hand in influencing Gustin's career. "Blue and Green" honors the Seattle Seahawks in the same sense how "Black and Yellow" honors the Pittsburgh Steelers.
