The second cut “Can You See” sees him working with FK Osha. The production is more diverse and takes elements from Afropop and experimental elements. He switches his flow as well with a melody-driven approach which is bolstered by FK Osha’s glowing hook. The production is dynamic and slowly build-ups into an atmospheric and sublime soundscape.

“Dirty Dishes” is an insightful track ripe with an engulfing production and more importantly Toks’ heartfelt lyrics that dive into strapping one’s bootstraps and putting in work to reach the goals. The title is a metaphor for washing dishes, even though it’s not a glamorous job, it has to be done but the ay off is everything is fresh and clean afterward.
