When Big Sean and Hit-Boy released What You Expect in October 2021, the two had a proven collaborative track record from early-2010s cuts "Freshman 10" and "Clique" extending to much of 2020's Detroit 2. This six-track EP consolidates their alliance. It ends with the lead single "What a Life," includes the equally urgent tracks "Offense" (featuring Babyface Ray and 42 Dugg) and "Into It," and slackens for a couple sets of Sean's best unbothered and conversational verses in "The One" and "Loyal to a Fault" (with Bryson Tiller and Lil Durk in on the latter). The productions from Hit-Boy and his varying lineup of associates mostly signal looming threat, and switch up on occasion with easy hip-hop soul. Not included: the August single "It Ain't My Fault," produced by Hit-Boy and featuring Big Sean but headlined by Babyface Ray.
