Release and promotion

[edit]

Headie One first hinted at the release of the mixtape on his singles "50s" in which he rapped: "Anyway, back to the matter, I might drop a joint tape with shh", alluding to an unreleased collaborative mixtape which would eventually be revealed as Strength to Strength.[4][5] The mixtape's lead single, "Catfish" premiered on GRM Daily as a joint daily duppy between the two artists on September 10, 2023.[6] On the same day, the two announced the release of the mixtape.[6] The mixtape's second single, "Park Chinois" was released on September 14, accompanied by an official mixtape announcement.[7][8][9] On September 21, just a day prior to the mixtape's release, the project's third single, "Triple Threat" with Clavish was released.[10]
