Background
The Members Only collective first hinted at the upcoming release of Members Only, Vol. 4 through social media posts in mid-2018, with Craig Xen confirming the project's development on X (then Twitter) in late June, building anticipation among fans following XXXTentacion's death in June 2018. On January 9, 2019, the group officially announced the album's release date via a teaser video posted to XXXTentacion's Instagram account, featuring a stylized "MO" logo over a black screen accompanied by audio snippets of XXXTentacion's vocals, explicitly tying the drop to what would have been his 21st birthday on January 23.[2] This announcement highlighted the project's role as a posthumous tribute, with Members Only members like Ski Mask the Slump God and Craig Xen sharing additional Instagram previews of tracks, including Ski Mask's snippet of a song dedicated to XXXTentacion, to honor his influence on the collective.
Promotion and release
The album was released on January 23, 2019, what would have been XXXTentacion's 21st birthday.
