The mixtape is a collaborative effort with his OHB crew, consisting of Kid Red, HoodyBaby, Young Lo, Luvaboy TJ, Young Blacc, Famous Fresh and more. The crew’s name is an acronym for Original Hood Bosses, whereas the mixtape’s title refers to Chris' $4.35m mansion in Tarzana that he bought in June 2015. Before da Trap: Nights in Tarzana’s opening track, “Shut Down,” was released via SoundCloud on April 21 where Chris alluded to an OHB mixtape. Its release date was announced on April 27 via Twitter, 2 days before its release. Many of the mixtape’s tracks were previewed in now-deleted Instagrams and club appearances.
