Songs
On one of the lead singles, "Ain't No Fun" is a "hi-hat and bass-heavy banger" according to Joey Ech of XXL Magazine . [2] According to Claire Yotts of Our Generation Music, the track sees Yvnxchris "body the 808-heavy beat with more fast-paced bars and a scintillating ASMR hook." Yotts also states that the song sees the rapper assert himself as one of the "youngest hitmakers to grace the mic as of late." [9]
On the tracks "QuikkSkope" featuring DC The Don, and "Lyte" with Xlovclo, Yotts praised yvngxchris' versatility, and his ability to rap "hard-hitting verses" over more melodic beats compared to the rest of the EP. Both tracks see Yvngxchris "spitting quick rambling verses that lead into smooth chorus transitions by DC and Clo." Yotss praises how this shows off the different styles that Yvngxchris can approach; however, "Chris makes it known that he can kill any beat that he hops on." [9] On "Giig", Yotts praises the TikTok-viral track, citing how "Chris snaps with short bars over rumbling 808s produced by Cxdy. His flow hits quick pockets as the young emcee mimics the flashing hits of the kicks and drums within the instrumental." [9] Neena Rouhani and Cydney Lee of Billboard praised "QuikkSkope", with the two writing how "genre-bending" the track truly is, Lee and Rouhani wrote how the track incorporates "’80s production elements, futuristic synths, trap drums and indie percussion, which somehow all make sense together." [10]
According to Ech, on "Damn Homie", Lil Yachty provides "angelic vocals." [2] Aiden C. Werder of Our Generation Music wrote that the track "Damn Homie" taps back into early 2000s nostalgia, mixed with a "modern-sounding hit". Werder stated how the track opens with "Chris’ familiar, unrelenting raspy flow — skating over an uncharacteristically melody-less beat", courtesy of Decarlo & Blwyrmnd — "later contrasted by way of a high-pitched delivery from a relaxed Yachty." According to Aaron Williams of UPROXX , he wrote how "Damn Homie" sees yvngxchris take the "screwball energy" influence from rappers such as Comethazine, Ski Mask the Slump God, and Playboi Carti, Williams also wrote how the track sees yvngxchris " litter his rapid-fire verses with brain-bending rhyme patterns and smirk-inducing punchlines, showing that he’s got his own unique take on the SoundCloud-inspired style that is making him a favorite of the TikTok generation." [11] Additionally, the track's mixing was done by Mike Dean, according to yvngxchris. [12]
Switching over to more melodic vibes, "Serenity (Letter To X)" sees Yvngxchris pay homage to rapper XXXTentacion, someone who Chris looked up to growing up. [13] According to Dylan Green of DJ Booth, he says that the track "Serenity" sees " glides by on a rap-R&B hybrid of a beat produced by Dylvinci that sees Chris revisit the day he learned XXXTENTACION was killed during an attempted robbery in 2018."
