After their first EP, the group released music videos for "Watch Me" and "Changes". G-Unit planned to release the second EP in November, but after the release of The Beauty of Independence, it was announced that the album would be divided into two parts, “The Beauty of Independence'' and “The Beast Is G-Unit”. The group planned to release The Beast in late October, however the EP was pushed back to a later release in 2015. On November 10, 2014, a deluxe version of The Beauty of Independence was released, containing two new songs, "Ease Up" and "Big Body Benz". Then finally on January 20, 2015, the cover art for The Beast Is G-Unit was revealed via social media.
