Apart from the album marking the trio's second collaborative LP with Doom, they also worked together on Czarface's 2015 track, "Ka-Bang!", off Every Hero Needs a Villain.[3] Super What? was recorded in April 2020, and was originally slated for release that same month, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5][6] Czarface member Esoteric explained:
When COVID-19 struck and the world stopped, we chose to pull it, focus on family, and fine-tune a few elements on it. What you'll be hearing was finalized, mixed & mastered in the summer of 2020, and it's our honor and privilege to share it with you. I speak for everyone involved when I say we were incredibly fortunate to have collaborated with DOOM…he was a one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-duplicated emcee, producer, and visionary. We wish peace and healing to his family, friends and everyone touched by the gifts he shared with the planet. MF DOOM FOREVER.[7]
The album consists of two halves, the "Doom Side" and the "Czar Side".[4][8] It is accompanied by a comic book written by Esoteric and illustrated by Benjamin Marra.[9]
The cover art by L'amour Supreme is based on the cover of issue 216 of the 1964 Marvel Comics series Daredevil.[10]
