Family Graves (EP)

Family Graves is the debut extended play by American rapper Joreezus. This project was the first collaboration between 808BO$$ and Joreezus.

Recording and Production
In July 2018, Joreezus began playing small shows around the Montgomery, Alabama area. In October 2018, Joreezus released his self-titled debut mixtape, which attracted the attention of up-and-coming producer 808BO$$. 808BO$$ reached out to Joreezus and the two decided to record an EP together. After recording, 808BO$$ introduced Joreezus to Fxceless, owner of the independent record label Fxceless_Records. The two eventually signed to Fxceless_Records, with 808BO$$ signing a $75,000 four-album deal, and Joreezus being given a $125,000 six-album deal. Family Graves, despite being an EP, was legally considered each of the artists' first album under their contracts.

After the signing, the EP was re-recorded and remixed in Fxceless' Studio 44. Upon Joreezus' request the album was released in Canada three days before the rest of North America and Europe. In Canada, the song "Family Graves" became extremely popular, and was later released as a single during the promotional phase for Joreezus' debut studio album, Room 717.
