Shortly after it was available via local stores in Minneapolis. A large distribution of the CD album in stores was planned by Prince and was scheduled for [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 29|29 April 2016]]. Although he has worked on other projects in the meantime ([[Album:_Black Is The New Black (2016) | Black Is The New Black]] and [[Album: Piano & A Microphone| Piano & A Microphone]], '''Hitnrun Phase Two''' is both the last one that came out during his lifetime (in digital), and the first one to hit the stores after his unexpected death. It is not therefore considered a posthumous album. | ||
