History

Young Rome's opinion of this album is that, "It's far from what Immature did. It's more mature—more about my personal life and what I've been through. I sing about the ups and downs of being in the group, of what's happening with my family and going through stuff. This album shows all of me—the adversity and everything else."^[3]

In the United States, Food for Thought debuted at number 98 on the Billboard 200^[4] and peaked at number 32 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.^[5]
