The mixtape opens with a brief "Intro," setting the tone for a series of dynamic and engaging tracks. "What They Want" follows, providing a hard-hitting start that emphasizes the duo’s synergy. "Drop Top Girl" adds a lighter, more playful layer, prepping the listener for the deeper cuts to follow.
 
"Deuces," featuring Kevin McCall, is one of the mixtape’s highlights.

"No Bullshit" follows, slowing things down with its sultry beat and intimate lyrics, showcasing Chris Brown's strength in creating mood-setting R&B hits.
 
"48 Bar Rap" shifts gears back to hip-hop, with both artists delivering fast-paced bars that demonstrate their versatility. "Ballin," another collaboration with Kevin McCall, mixes confident lyrics with compelling rhythms, standing out as a celebration of success.
 
The mixtape continues with "Ain't Thinkin Bout You," featuring Bow Wow, which delves into reflections on past relationships with a mix of rap and melodic verses. The addition of Bow Wow adds a nostalgic flair that complements the duo’s modern style.
 
Tracks like "Like A Virgin Again" and "Have It" further explore themes of love and desire, while "Number One" and "Make Love" offer more intimate, relationship-focused narratives. "I'm So Raw" and "I'm On It" bring back the edgier, upbeat vibe, showcasing Tyga's unique style and flow.
 
"Movin 2 Fast" and "Regular Girl" are perfect examples of the mixtape's diverse approach, blending catchy hooks with thoughtful lyrics about relationships and lifestyle. The mixtape rounds off with an "Outro" that succinctly wraps up the musical journey, followed by bonus tracks "G Shit" and "Holla At Me," which underscore the project’s overall quality and appeal.
