Caskey’s first three Black Sheep projects were released in 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively, which made the anticipation for Black Sheep 4 perhaps the greatest in the series. For a period in time, it was even believed Black Sheep 3 would be the final volume. The description on the official upload of BS3 on mixtape site DatPiff.com bore only one sentence, which read “the third and final installment to Caskey’s Black Sheep series.” The Florida rapper announced that BS4 was in the process of being made in March of 2018, telling fans via social media “BS4 IS OTW” (a nod to his Black Sheep 2 teaser song, “Black Sheep 2 Is On The Way”). He spent a brief period in the early summer on creating and releasing the Music to Die to EP, but for the rest of 2018 and the beginning of 2019, he continued work on the long-awaited sequel. The project was finally released on April 12, 2019.
