While in prison, X announced the albums 17, I Need Jesus, and Members Only, Vol. 3.[2] X would announce that the release of 17 would come after the release of his group, Members Only's mixtape Members Only, Vol. 3.[3] X said that the album was a 'gateway' into his mind and made songs with themes of suicide and depression.[4]

X would cause some controversy when he posted a video of himself to Instagram appearing to hang himself from a tree. He would later apologize and say that the "hanging" was a scene for a music video.[5]

The album debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 and selling album-equivalent units.[6] After X's murder, the album would re-enter the Billboard 200 at #7 and sold 55,000 album-equivalent units.[7] 17 would be three times Platinum.[8]

The album featured the singles "Revenge", "Jocelyn Flores", and "Fuck Love".
