Prior to the album's release, three songs were leaked onto the Internet: second single " Same Girl", which features Usher;

"Rise Up", a song which only appeared on some releases, a tribute to the victims of the Virginia Tech massacre in April 2007; also making an early appearance was a song titled "Blow It Up", at first supposed to be featured on the album but absent from the final track listing, mainly due to the inappropriate mood it would have created because of the presence of the Virginia Tech shooting tribute song "Rise Up".

" Rock Star", which features Ludacris and Kid Rock, was released as the album's third single on September 4.

A video for the song " Real Talk" was also made directly on YouTube.

"Double Up" is a song off R&B singer R. Kelly's eighth studio album of the same name. The song features Snoop Dogg, and revolves around Kelly's efforts to leave the club with two women (hence, he's "doubling up"). "Double Up" was in contention to be the third single released off the album; however, the other contender, " Rock Star," featuring Ludacris and Kid Rock, was chosen to be the third single. However, it reached number 1 on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart shortly after the album was released. The song samples "Ice Berg" from singer-songwriter Tweet's 2005 album It's Me Again.
