It was released on September 11, 2015 on Apple Music and the iTunes Store; the physical editions were released on September 18, 2015 by Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE). The album features guest appearances from Rock's TDE label-mates Kendrick Lamar, Black Hippy, Isaiah Rashad and SZA, as well as Busta Rhymes, Sir and introduces Lance Skiiiwalker, Chicago singer-producer who in 2016 would be named as a new TDE signee.
The album, which takes its title from Jay Rock's hometown postal code, was supported by three singles, "Money Trees Deuce", "Gumbo" and the title-track "90059". The album debuted at number 16 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 19,000 album-equivalent units copies in its first week. Upon its release, 90059 received general acclaim from music critics.
In September 2014, Tech N9ne revealed that Jay Rock had left Strange Music, thus leaving him solely under Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE). In March 2015, TDE founder Anthony Tiffith announced Rock's follow-up to 2011's Follow Me Home would finally be released in 2015. On August 4, 2015, Jay Rock revealed the title of his long-awaited and often-delayed second studio album to be 90059. The album's title comes from the zip code of Watts, Los Angeles, California, the area in which Jay Rock was raised.
