The album was announced soon after Mustard achieved the first No. 1 song of his career, thanks to Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track “Not Like Us.”
To that point, ScHoolboy Q expressed excited over L.A.’s return to the music scene at the hands of the 34-year-old producer.

Taking to X last month, the Southern California MC revealed that he’d already heard Faith of a Mustard Seed, and he couldn’t wait for everyone else to check it out.
“Heard it [teary face emoji],” he wrote. “sHit go dumb. LA bout to do it again… LA up tHis year.”

Continuing with the LA energy, the album got its title from the late Nipsey Hussle.
When working on the title track for the producer’s last album, 2019’s Perfect Ten, Nipsey suggested that Mustard name the effort Faith Of A Mustard Seed. The producer, however, had already locked in the aforementioned title at the time.

“And [Nipsey] was like, ‘Well before it’s all said and done, you gotta do Faith Of A Mustard Seed,’” he recalled in a June interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood.
When the West Coast beatmaker began working on the new project, he actually had a different title in mind (that he may still use), but when he knew that Nip’s suggested title made sense after he sampled a Luther Vandross cut because his mother is a huge fan of the singer.

The album was preceded by the single “Pray For Me,” which found him rapping on record for the very first time.
The song features Mustard speaking about his family and friends — both those who are here and those who have passed on.
“I always used to say I would never rap on a song,” he told XXL. “I feel like people have never heard my side of any story.
“But I felt like this was the perfect time to explain to everybody where I’ve been for the last five years.

“I always wanted to talk about something that was real to me, and that, even if you didn’t like the rap, you really like, understood he’s saying some real shit, what he’s saying is honest, and it’s vulnerable.”
