The title track was released March 6, 2020 and features Com Laudes father on the intro and core group mates Myca C & Nived (formerly Da Beast) of No Front on the outro. The introduction has been credited to be penned by OCL's brother, Adil Shah.[2]
The follow up and second track off the EP, "Overdose", is a first for Pakistani music & Pakistani hip hop music overall, where OCL recruits 3 artists all hailing from Houston to combine them on what presents itself as a quad-lingual song (English, Spanish, Punjabi & Urdu) with Myca C, Fonzo AM and Bali Shah respectively rapping in their own tongues.[3] The third and fourth tracks are star studded in their own right as "3-PEAT" boasts a NBAesque all-star lineup as Guru Lahori and Talhah Yunus of Young Stunners jump on to create magic[4] and Umair Jaswal steps into the ring to tag team with OCL on "Vehshi" on what is being self dubbed the magnum opus and revolutionary grand finale of the freshman EP.
MRKLE serves as executive producer on the project.
