The featured artists are: DUH MAHNI (previously known as Neil), MKIT RAIN‘s Owen Ovadoz and Young West, BrandNew Music‘s Hanhae, Indigo Music‘s Jvcki Wai, and VMC‘s WEBSTER B.
The stylish artwork was created by KOKO, who previously made the cover art for lucigang‘s inofficial ‘No more LOVE SCARS’ EP.
