“Livin’ Life” is that this jazzy intro speaking about dwelling proper nowadays whereas “2nd Thought” produced by Statik Selektah proves to be a spotlight as he exhibits off an aura that may’t be confused with anybody else. “Cussed” works on this high-pitched gospel pattern getting reckless in the midst of his block rockin’ 2 boots whereas “Bong Rips” that includes MAVI together with Harry Fraud behind the boards getting of their stoner luggage.
