The songs on the album include, Pressure, Tinkerbell, Need Your Love,Get Get No Dey Want, Alhaji, Eboso, Sure Banker, Another One, Casanova, Promise, Your Loving, Formation, Dambalektra, Odo Nti and Fine Wine.
With these songs, they collaborated with Wizkid, Gyakie, Stonebwoy, Eazi, King Promise, DarkoVibes and Joeboy.
To ensure production leaves nothing to chance, they secured the services of producers like KillBeatz, GuiltyBeatz, StreetBeatz, DJ Breezy, Kuvie, Northboi, Highlander Beats, VacksOnIt, KyeiRocks, DJ Afrolektra, Dera, DJ Obrien and Nektunez.
R2bees have shown resilience, loyalty and a group one could look up to with over decades of enviable bond.
