The title "Jungle Rules" was originally announced on August 25, 2015, in the midst of Chris Brown's "One Hell of a Nite" tour which ran between August and September which the rapper co-headlined. The title was shelved, however, when in October the mixtape was released under the name "Coke Zoo". On June 12, 2017, "Billboard" attended a documentary screening and listening party hosted by French Montana in New York City. The event featured previews of tracks expected on the upcoming sophomore album. In a subsequent radio interview with Angie Martinez, he confirmed having completed recording three upcoming projects, including one being a collaboration, and the other his next album. The title "Jungle Rules" was revived following his performance at the 2017 BET Awards, where the name and release date was revealed for July 14. The track listing was revealed on July 5, 2017.
