At just 59 seconds, it functions less like a traditional song and more like an ambient interlude and a time capsule of shared euphoria. The track opens with an ethereal, ambient soundscape, setting a tone of anticipation before transitioning into the sound of a bustling club.

Mr. Montana primes the listener for the journey ahead, grounding the EP in the vibrancy of shared moments and the electric energy of a night out.

Soundlykbb shifts into a more melodic vibe with Tuliwano, an Afrobeat-inspired track brimming with confidence and celebration. Translating to "we have arrived" in Luganda, the song perfectly captures the feeling of success and self-assurance. Soundlykbb’s delivery is smooth yet bold as he reflects on his wins, declaring that he’s balling and in a good place. The track’s upbeat and melodic nature makes it the perfect anthem for celebrating your victories or hyping yourself up before chasing a goal. It’s aspirational, uplifting, and infectious, an ideal manifestation track. The production complements the theme seamlessly, with rich Afrobeat rhythms and a polished melodic flow. As a cherry on top, the song closes with a sample of Demarco’s Money, Money, Money, tying the celebratory tone together with a nod to financial success.

The final track of the EP, Whine Slow V2, is a sultry, sexy blend of Afrobeat and Dancehall that instantly transports you to the club. It’s the kind of track that immediately pulls and locks you in a moment, grinding with a stranger, the music loud, and the world fading into the background. The rhythm is hypnotic, with Afrobeat’s signature percussion blending seamlessly with Dancehall’s seductive groove. Soundlykbb’s delivery is smooth and enticing, adding to the track’s allure. It’s a song that thrives on atmosphere, conjuring memories of dimly lit clubs and fleeting connections. Whine Slow V2 is unapologetically about the vibe; intense, intimate, and electric.
