But even before its April 1 release, Sean and Jhene’s sonic chemistry was present. In 2013, the two created “Beware,” which details a relationship that crumbled due to infidelity on Sean’s “Hall of Fame” album and ”I Know” from his 2015 “Dark Sky Paradise.” Now, they’re back together, picking apart at their faults, back stories, memories and nights of passion. Each giving their own perspectives through a mixture of 90’s R&B and 70’s blues beats courtesy of producers Detail, Tommy Browne and Key Wayne.

On the EP’s opener “Déjà Vu,” Sean calls Jhene out on her past. “Where does the time go, you just had a baby/You had a new man, and you just separated/Back on the scene and you already faded/No shame in that girl, you need the escaping,” he raps. While Jhene fires back, reminding him of the bullsh*t: “Do it my way with you/Cause I stuck around for ya/When you’re a** wasn’t doing sh*t But running around the D/Wrapping nothing but the mother**king swisher sweets/Tonight you gon’ learn, it’s your turn.”
