Of his future plans for TDE, Dave Free stated:
It’s all about being the best. I’m not settling for second place in this sh-t. Just know it ain’t coming out unless it’s tight. We have an opportunity to be where [Dr.] Dre is, if we do the right things. Look at what Dre’s doing. We have an opportunity to get to that level if we take this seriously and stay on this grind, so everybody’s on that mission. I’ve got a loaded clip right now with a lot of great music and a lot of visuals.
