The remix EP consists of three remixed version from Lennox's debut album Shea Butter Baby (2019) and features guest appearances from Doja Cat, Smino, and Durand Bernarr. It contained remixes for the songs "BMO", "I Been" and "Facetime". [3] [4]
An editor for HotNewHipHop gave a review of the EP writing "Throwing Doja Cat on one of the album's biggest hits was a smart move, and Doja's versatility allows her to make any song her own without overshadowing the original artist. Doja once again proves that she can drop bars, contrasting her signature raspy flow with her vocal prowess of a higher register. Smino comes in strong on the "I Been" remix, holding his own for the first half while offering a male voice to the relationship woes anthem." [5]
