On that same day, it was announced that they would be releasing a project titled The Greater Than Club in the first quarter of 2011.[16] Music and lyricsTGTC has a lush sound that is characterized by luxuriant strings, brisk snare drums, and soulful samples.[17] The album's production, mainly provided by Iyeball and Jay Swifa (MnkeyWrench), incorporates elements of various music styles including electronic, hip hop and soul.[18] Adam Fleischer of XXL described the album as having a "Midwest soul hop" sound.[19]Lyrically, TGTC explores a variety of topics. In the song "Salutation" each individual group member addresses their shortcomings and anxieties through lyrics that carry an uncommon sense of honesty.[20][21][22] In "Don't Call", Jerreau speaks on the intricacies and complications of dating.[23] In "5000" the group speaks on being “Audi” (as in the Audi 5000), while defining the term as being well-off.[24] PromotionOn February 16, 2012, the official music video for "5000" was uploaded to KarmaloopTV's YouTube channel.[25][26] On August 1, 2012, the official music videos for "Long Run" and "Don't Call" were featured on MTV.[27][28] On January 17, 2013, "Friends.Women.Money" was featured on an episode of the MTV series Buckwild.[29] On July 27, 2013, the NBA 2K team announced that "Long Run" would be featured on the soundtrack to NBA 2K14.[30] Critical responseTGTC was generally well received by music critics.
