Tapping other mavericks including Mayorkun on the track, “Ten,” and Simi on the track “Darling,” Seyi Vibez amplifies his ‘ghetto gospel’ narrative on this album. Even when he sings about falling in love, which is every hustler’s reality, as he did on the songs “Darling” and “Ife,” he presents his experiences and thoughts in a very relatable and exciting way.
