This vibes of the song, No time for Bad Compromises, pulls from the r&b, soul & gospel traditions however it cuts across the genres and generations. The song is pure instrumental and the saxophone leads the mood and is the voice of the track.

No words, no voice destroys the listeners’ own mixture of associations when diving into the vibes of the track. The music style intends to create good vibes and an atmosphere to chill, reflex and dream away.

"Extra is kind of an ode to my Harlem-influence in a low-key way: being African, I’m naturally extra — we love to get fly. But Harlem really takes pride in pushin’ it to another level, being competitive about showin out. The clothes, jewelry, cars.. Extra!” he explains. “We had a lot of fun making the video, and the production company had some cool ideas like having the horse. I’m a bit tight cause we had a scene [that involved the car] I really wanted in the video, but I got the Benz stuck in the sand and we had move on without it.”

The song is produced by Rayoe’s longtime collaborator Bug Dinero, who is based in Ghana. It samples Moroccan instrumentation complimented by bouncy drums and a deep, rolling bass line.

Baby Mic Candy (BMC) is a 3-member Hip Hop group consisting of MOTO from Thailand, and GOLI and YUKI from Japan. The name ‘Baby Mic Candy’ toys with the idea of how the trio wants to share their identity with the whole world, charming listeners as vividly as Candy through the Microphone without forgetting their Baby-like innocence.

The debut Hip Hop, breakbeat single, ‘RUN’ is an adrenaline-pumping, runner’s high song that sublimates good vibes, a spirit of defiance and resolutions overflowing from the group. With lyrics in Thai, Japanese and English, the high-tempo best of the single depicts the “ordinary guys” that BMC values so much as they bet (run) on the once-in-a-lifetime game of life.
