Composition

The 7-track extended play features a diverse range of songs. The first track, "On God" serving as the lead single, this track opens the project with a heartfelt message. King Perryy reflects on his journey, acknowledging the central role of God in his life and career. On Turkey Nla (Remix) featuring Tekno the song might share the same title as one of Wande Coal’s songs, yet the message and style are different and the removal of Fela Kuti sample on the original where the last part of the song explore Amapiano with the skittering log drum serving as the accompaniment to the drums, kick, and baseline. On "Tight Condition" He shared a A punchy duet alongside singer Victony. "Oh No" features rolling drums, kicks, and baseline. Lyrically, it finds Perryy reflecting his transactional relationship on a girl. On ”Flamingo" featuring Ria Sean, this bouncy, R&B-tinged track mixes Dancehall vibes with a Nigerian bounce and Hawaiian guitar melodies while No Stress" is a blend of Dancehall and Highlife, this song borrows elements from 20th-century palm wine music. Repurposing lyrics from King Perryy’s earlier hit "Yawa" a”nd on the outdo "Denge" closing the EP, this dance-centric track features 1da Banton, who also serves as its producer. The rhythm draws inspiration from Timaya’s “Sanko” and Runtown’s “Body Riddim.” Sparse lyrics allow the energetic production to shine, with Banton’s solemn verse adding a contrasting depth.
