Released when the artist was only 19, this mixtape served as an early showcase for her precocious lyrical ability and genre-fluid production choices. The project features a mix of boom-bap nostalgia and the emerging cloud rap sounds of the early 2010s. It was a foundational release that helped her gain traction within the UK underground scene before her transition to full-length studio albums.
