In the opening track “Reloaded,” Torae pays homage to songwriting and showcases his success in crafting memorable verses and catchy hooks. He proudly mentions his ability to deliver impressive 16-bar verses and create standout songs. It’s worth noting that Torae’s versatility as a lyricist is evident in his songwriting credits for notable projects such as Migos’ “Culture III” and Lizzo’s “Rumors.”

When asked about the renewed collaboration with Marco Polo, the Coney Island MC emphasized the authenticity of their creative process. Neither of them were on tour, and Torae wasn’t occupied with any of his show projects. They decided to add two new songs to the existing eight tracks they had on hand and gift the album to their fans. On track number eight, aptly titled “Rap Sh!t,” Torae repeatedly emphasizes his dedication and seriousness towards the craft of rap. The precision in his delivery and the fluidity of his lyrics, complemented by Marco Polo’s scratchy beats, leave no doubt about the authenticity of their message.
