While Gambino spoke about Atavista, he did not confirm the dates and dropped it suddenly

Two songs from the latest released album: Human Sacrifice and the album's title track, were performed at the This Is America Tour, however, he never released them officially. On April 15, a GILGA Radio stream was hosted on Instagram by Gambino where he said:

"My fans are great and have been so patient and are starving—this album is for you guys."

When a fan asked if he would be playing songs during the session, 40-year-old Gambino said:

"Of course. It's a rollout dummy."

While he did not confirm the release date of Atavista, he revealed that the rollouts had started, which automatically means that fans did not have to wait a lot. In an interview with Complex in October 2023, Gambino opened up about the possibility of re-releasing 3.15.20 and the absence of traditional art style in the album, He further added:

"People are always going to want what they want, but I have to express what I'm going through. I had just lost my father, I had just had a kid, and I was going through a lot. I was having a lot of different new experiences and that's what I expressed.... I had just lost my father, I had just had a kid, and I was going through a lot. I was having a lot of different new experiences and that's what I expressed."

The newly released album contains several tracks including Human Sacrifice, Why Go To The Party, Sweet Thang, Little Foot Big Foot, and Algorhythm, to name a few. While Young Nudy has been featured in Little Foot Big Foot, Ariana Grande is featured in Time.
