Digital Distortion

***Digital Distortion*** is an unreleased album by Australian rapper Justin Da Mustang. Originally scheduled for a mid-2016 release, Da Mustang pushed the released back to 2017 following his breakup with his fiancé to work on new material, then to be released in June 2017. But on November 7, 2017, he officially **cancelled** the album and announced he will release a new project titled *Survive the Summer* the following year with a new label and new management, after severe creative differences.

## Background

In early 2015, Da Mustang was working on a second studio album. He originally planned on doing a world tour titled "The Great Escape Tour" to promote *Reclassified*, but cancelled plans due to low ticket sales.

## Singles

The lead single, "Team", was released on March 18, 2016, and was the most successful single from the album. The second single, "Mo Bounce", was released a year later, on March 23, 2017. The third single, "Switch" featuring Anitta, was released on May 19, 2017.

### Promotional singles

The first promotional single, and buzz track, "Azillion", was released on January 9, 2016. There were originally plans for a music video to be associated with the video, but his label, Virgin EMI Records, blocked his ability to release anything. The second promotional single, "Can't Lose" featuring Lil Uzi Vert, was released on March 3, 2017.

* "Elephant" took Justin the longest to write.
* Azealia Banks and Justin Da Mustang were going to put their differences behind and collaborate on a song on *Digital Distortion*. Unfortunately it remained unreleased since Def Jams refused to release any more singles from *Digital Distortion*.
* "Middle Man", "7-Teen", "Elephant" and "Azillion" were all posted for free download by Da Mustang himself. All of them were posted after the album was announced to be scrapped, except for "Azillion", which was released as a free download in early 2016.
