Background and release
On April 19, 2016 BANANA Culture announced that EXID would have a comeback of first week in June with their first studio album. The album was named the third best K-pop album of 2016 by Billboard. The article noted, "The strongest girl-group output of 2016, EXID finally got the chance to show what they were capable of with a full-length album of offbeat-yet-trendy dance tracks that delivered on the promise they showed so early in the career. 'L.I.E' is an aggressive pop banger, but slick songs like "Cream," "Don't Want a Drive" and "No Way" rival it for best and most accessible song on the album."
Promotion
EXID held a live showcase on June 1, 2016 and performed "L.I.E" and "Don't Want a Drive" on MBC's Show Champion.
Commercial performance
Street entered and peaked at number 2 on the Gaon Album Chart on the chart issue dated May 29 - June 4, 2016. In its second week, the album charted at number 33.

Why this record matters
The phrase “album by EXID” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 23, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q24286874. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2016.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
