Background
Still Doubted? is Wyte's first album since 2009's The Bad Influence. It is a follow-up to his debut album Doubt Me Now and was released 10 years after it. Wyte spent three years touring and releasing mixtapes in preparation for his next album. He also founded his own record label Wyte Music and started signing and promoting new artists, such as Miscellaneous. Unlike his previous releases under HCP, which were crafted by DJ Paul and Juicy J, Still Doubted? was executively produced by Wyte, who wanted to make an album on his own.A music video for "My Smoking Song" from Doubt Me Now was released on April 20, 2012, to promote the album. It was shot at the 41st Annual Ann Arbor Michigan Hash Bash, an annual event hosted to help legalize weed, which was attended by 15,000 people.
