The mixtape's first single, "Doe-Active", which was released on November 17, 2014. The song has received positive reviews, with Pitchfork.com praising the track's production and A$AP Ferg's delivery:

"Stelios Phili provides the production for Ferg's newest track, 'Doe-Active', a minimalist beat that could've slid right into Yeezus with its sparse use of blown-out bass and siren-like air horn. There's enough empty space for Ferg to pick and choose his vocal stylings. There's also plenty of room for him to bring some unforgettable hooks without the beat getting too much in the way ('I got a hundred dollar bill for every bump on your face'). The track's real trick, though, is that it's going to leave us all wanting to ball like Adam Levine."
