Background
The news of a collaboration between Fred Again and Latin Mafia was first announced with the release of a short film on 26 July 2026 titled Under the Fabric, which was shot in one take on 11 December 2025 before Fred's show in Mexico City for his USB002 tour.[1] It consisted of a single live session featuring "work-in-progress songs", leading fans to predict more upcoming music from the artists would be coming soon.[2] A day after the film's release, Fred would officially announce that the mixtape would be entirely created on a continuous livestream, starting from July 28 until the project was fully finished and released.[3] The livestream was hosted on YouTube[4] and lasted for two days, with the project being completed on 30 July.[5] Both artists would also hold a surprise concert at the Palacio de los Deportes the same day,[6] which featured a full performance of the mixtape.[7] It would be released to streaming services the following day on 31 July.[6][4][8]
