Red Roses is the debut mixtape by South Carolina’s own newcomer Mook. It was commercially released through streaming services and digital retailers on the Fourth of July in 2016. This marks Mook’s first project under the late Speaker Knockerz‘ label, Talibandz Gang Entertainment and Def Jam Recordings. On June 30, only four days before the mixtape’s initial release, Mook’s label, Talibandz Gang Entertainment, tweeted a trailer on their Twitter account, which also showcased previews of the tape’s material and revealed the release date. Three hours earlier, as the mixtape was gearing up for release, it was previewed on SoundCloud through way of TBG’s Twitter account, but was later removed from SoundCloud twelve days later, but was later re-uploaded to the music streaming platform, unlisted.
