Stiffy, who made waves in Barbados with his hit "Tek Off Something," contributed the lively "No Behavior." Masicka, a rising star from Jamaica, added "Balance" to the mix. E.C rounded out the lineup with the track "Imagine." This project was shaped by the careful work of WALSHY FIRE | SMOKEY JAMAKINO.

His production style is known for mixing traditional dancehall with modern sounds, and he has worked with artists like Chronixx and Koffee.
