For Drill rappers, having the right beats to accompany your lyrical tirade is just as important as their choice of words which is why Yaw Tog’s partnership with a tight group of producers including Doosis, Khendibeatz, Chris Rich, and DG Production is one of the major keys used in unlocking the greatness of the EP. Collectively, they built a chemistry that complemented his vision of portraying life, reflecting on themes of brotherhood, growth, and struggle whilst capturing the true essence of Kumerica. Spanning about twenty minutes, each track is as hard-hitting as the next with the rising star possessing an incomparable rawness that has evidently aided his rapid rise within the global rap scene.

Leading the way for his generation, Yaw Tog is challenged by the coexistence of music and education in the same period but with Time, he paces himself and carves a niche as untouchable and laudable as his delivery.
