Subsequently, several artists under contract with the Bikini Bottom Mafia label published the Amazon link on Facebook, which fans perceived as confirmation. The first reaction to the album was SpongeBOZZ himself by adapting his Facebook profile picture and front page to the album cover. Just a few days later, on January 9, 2017, the first tracks of the album SFTB / Apocalyptic Infinity were released on YouTube without notice. These served on the one hand as an advertisement for the double album, but they were also SpongBOZZ's comeback and served as an announcement of a disrack against Kollegah .

Shifts
The album was originally due to be released on March 17, 2017, in keeping with the artist's birthday, but the date was then changed to May 12, 2017. According to SpongeBOZZ, the reason for the postponement is his perfectionism, as he wrote on Facebook :
“I'm still working on the songs and only hand them in when I'm 100% satisfied. [sic] "
Two weeks before the announced release on May 12th, the album was postponed a second time. Even before the public announcement, fans speculated whether SpongeBOZZ would postpone the album one more time, because at that point no more had been heard from the artist. On April 27, the postponement was officially confirmed by SpongeBOZZ itself on Facebook and the new date was set for June 9, 2017. SpongeBOZZ gave two reasons for the delay this time:
“Point 1: I just overwhelmed myself with the size of the project and couldn't bring myself to not make the songs perfect. [...] Point 2: It's Helene Fischer. There is absolutely no point in throwing the 1 away against someone who is playing in another universe. [sic] "
ACAB II
After the title ACAB II was published on May 25 at 1:12 p.m. on the SpongeBozz YouTube channel, it quickly received a lot of attention and quickly gained over a million views. But just one day later, on May 26, 2017 at around 10:00 p.m., the music video of the track disappeared from YouTube without a statement from SpongeBOZZ. Yellow Bar Mitzvah , published on the same day, remained available online.
There was initially no announcement from SpongeBOZZ, but on June 1st the song was put back online on YouTube. The reasons for this are still not fully known:
- “ACAB II is online again! I'm not allowed to say anything about it, except that we could avert the matter for the time being! ”- SpongeBOZZ on June 1st in a Facebook post
The first part of ACAB was also blocked by YouTube very quickly. This was due to the insults against the police and the trivialization of violence and drug use in the video. Because of ACAB , among other things , SpongeBOZZ's debut album Planktonweed Tape was indexed. The Berlin police denied a blockage due to insults like in the first part.
Leaks
Shortly before the release on June 9th, leaks for the songs Bikini Bottom Gangster 2 , Krabbenkoke , John Webber Diss , Rhythm is a Gangster etc. appeared on June 7th . This was because some mail-order companies and stores had already sold and shipped the album before the release date. The songs, which were actually still unpublished, quickly received attention from many media portals and were therefore blocked after a few hours. Nevertheless, the content of the Hidden EP, which was now officially called Payback #forsundiego, was revealed .
