Track-by-Track Review
ShortStack
The opener feels like the first sip of coffee after a long night out. It’s light, confident, and easy to sink into. The beat, guided by some stellar production sets the mood perfectly with its smooth textures and gentle rhythm. Khern$ delivers with a laid-back swagger, establishing both chemistry and cohesion right from the start.
Show Off
This track picks up the pace a bit, adding a fun, confident flair. It’s catchy without trying too hard and highlights their natural charisma. With Black Cactus on the background vocals and piano, the track really shines. The production bounces along with an understated groove, creating a perfect space for him to shine. You can tell the duo understands balance; they let the song breathe while keeping the hook sharp and memorable.
Bottomless Mimosas
This one is pure brunch-hour luxury. The name alone fits the vibe, and the sound lives up to it. The production comes through in the sparkling layers and subtle percussion, while they reflect on indulgence and good times. Beneath the chill surface, there’s a sense of appreciation for how far he’s come. It’s one of the standout tracks, wrapping easy listening and introspection into one.
Spillin’ Over (feat. Miz.Clover)
Here, the mood shifts slightly, leaning into something more emotional. The title hints at overflow, and the song mirrors that with layered vocals and swelling instrumentals. The vocals sound more reflective here, considering the weight of success and emotion. The production is on point and supports that vulnerability with a softer, more atmospheric touch. It’s a beautiful midpoint that deepens the project’s emotional range.
1/1
This track is stripped back and intimate, focusing more on the message than the flash. They rap and sing with purpose, reminding listeners that they are a “one of one” in their lane. The production remains understated but rich, allowing every word to land. It feels like a quiet moment in an otherwise vibrant day, showing maturity and focus.
Taken Care Of
The closing track ties everything together perfectly. It’s smooth, reflective, and full of gratitude. Khern$ and SMOOTHDAWOLF wrap up the project with a sense of calm confidence, suggesting that the work has been done and the results speak for themselves. The production feels cinematic yet grounded, closing the EP on an uplifting note that lingers long after it ends.
