With 11 unique tracks, the mictape boasted samples taken from very bizarre places, such as using the sound of a vaping device as the beat on the track "Wake Up and Realize That I Don't Really Wanna Exist Anymore" and using the beat from Under Pressure by Queen as a background ambience on "Piss Baby," the tape's lead single.
