SL-based producer, KillerBase handles Jay Cliff’s next beaut sound, ‘Vybz & Chill’. Laced with smooth strings and head-bopping drum progressions, the song features Sierra Leone-based star, Kaygee ADN to get its message out - intimacy is all about the vibes! Finally, Jay Cliff and four-time VGMA 'Best Female Vocal Performance' award winner, Efya wrap things up in grand style on ‘No Time (Bonus)’. Both put up a harmonious vocal performance that rests gracefully atop the Daniel-produced sound.
