Musically, Everlast and producer Dante Ross marry his gruff delivery with spare acoustic guitar layered in subdued hip-hop rhymths. The album features hip-hop references, including lyrical quotes, turntable scratches and explicit lines and bravado. The album mainly blends country and blues into lyrical narratives of loneliness . Everlast uses a haggard voice for singing grim songs. He occasionally engages in rap clichés, with verses expressing street bravado and cynicism in addition to relationship issues and heartbreak.
