Each track on the album feels purposeful, with Krizbeatz expertly drawing out the best and highlighting the strengths of his collaborators. Whether featuring established artists or rising ones, everyone fits seamlessly into this cohesive body of work.
The album opens with Ha Yeh, a track created on a TikTok Live session. Its infectious drum pattern immediately sets the tone, pulling listeners in with an energy that feels nostalgic and fresh. The chorus carries the vibes of early 2000s West African and Central African collaborations, bringing to life the leg-shaking dance rhythms that defined the industry.
Wicked Jazz comes next, showcasing smooth transitions with its soothing chord-driven beat. Featuring Darkoo and the energetic Ajebo Hustlers, the track delivers a laid-back groove while still packing lyrical heat.
On Touch Me, Fave and Ugandan sensation, Joshua Baraka join forces to create a sensual and relaxing single. Originally released in 2024, the track weaves smooth vocals with effortless production.
The fourth track, Ain’t Nobody Better, features rising star Khaid delivering fiery verses over Krizbeatz’s production. The fifth track, Belly of The Beast, features Wizard Chan's unique vocals over a dark beat highlighted by rich saxophone tones.
The pre-released Mentali, featuring Bella Shmurda and Alte pioneer BOJ, sits at the project's midpoint and has already garnered over 400,000 streams on Spotify. The track’s dancehall vibe makes it an undeniable highlight, combining brilliant melodies with a groovy beat.
The seventh track, Pretty Girl, takes a turn into global territory, blending dancehall and Latino rhythms. Here, Joshua Baraka teams up with Latino artist Chris Viz. The genre-defying track is a typical example of Krizbeatz’s ability to create music with a global appeal.
Which Kind Dance's delightful rhythm showcases Krizbeatz’s incredible drumming skills. Featuring Reminisce and the choral magic of the Wave Choir, the track blends choral Afrobeats style with witty lyrics.
Izz Going, sitting ninth, is an amapiano gem featuring Skales, Kemuel, Wave Choir, and a delightful whistle sound that keeps listeners intrigued. Krizbeatz transforms personal experiences into a musical statement.
Close to the album’s end, Krizbeatz blends three generations of musical maestros in Adewale Ayuba, Tekno, and Taves, creating a club-ready anthem, The Roof. With crispy log drums and basslines, the track is poised to dominate Nigerian clubs.
Move Body and Break Your Back draws the thrilling album to a close with its amapiano-driven beats that would make you move your body and break your back if the music takes over you.
