The producer of the record did an amazing job, especially with the percussion. The drums compliment the smoothness of the whole track which sit very well overall in the project, giving it balance.
The synth keys behind the vocals add a lofty feel that makes everything feel appropriate. The song’s groove delivers a different feel than the hard trap sounds that is usually expected from modern hip hop, as it conjures up a rhythmic Afro-Caribbean flavor.

Three elements that many artists find very hard to group together in any one song. Rich Pesos gets it right 3 times out of 3. The man’s on a roll!
