More Hip-Hop Influences, Less Afrobeats:
The first songs from the album, “Big 7” and the remix of “Sittin’ on Top of the World,” sounds a lot like Hip-Hop with a Caribbean twist. This is different from his usual Afrobeats style, so the whole album might have these cool new sounds.

Vibes and Insha Allah:
Burna Boy’s albums often feature tracks specifically tailored for the African audience.
