Background and composition

Teejayx6 first started gaining recognition because of his breakout single "Dark Web". On the song, he describes the process of using the TOR browser to access the dark web, and he details wild things he has witnessed there. On December 2, 2019, the second single, "Gadgets" was released. The song is about different equipment used to commit fraud, such as burner phones and MacBooks.

Black Air Force Activity 1 is a hip hop mixtape, specifically scam rap, a subgenre Teejay has been labeled a pioneer and even the "de facto leader" of. The lyrics on the mixtape include references to scamming, "trash-talking" and dark humor.

The title of the mixtape is derived from the black-on-black styling of the sneaker model of the same name manufactured by Nike, and the slang term "black air force energy", describing someone or something wild, aggressive, and with a flagrant disregard and contempt for others and established rules.
