The EP’s low-tempo beats exclusively produced by Uncle Tony J provide the perfect canvas for Brionne to unpack her emotions. The instrumentals are subtle yet impactful, allowing her voice and lyrics to take center stage.

This time, she digs deeper, leveling up her delivery and showcasing her ability to balance emotional weight with lyrical sharpness. While the entire EP is cohesive and thematically rich, a few tracks stand out for their resonance: “look ion wanna be angry forreal,”a blend of heartfelt storytelling and lyrical finesse. “call up indica & sativa to come join the fun,” a track where the production and her delivery create a moment of catharsis for the listener.
