Don't You Know I'm Loco is a Twice The Power posse cut telling us about how we don't know how crazy these amigos are. Don't You Know I'm Loco is another way of saying "Don't you know I'm crazy?" Vatos, chicas, and eses from the barrios of the SA streets responded incredibly well to this song.

Sex rap meets Miami bass with a hint of Latin music on Meow Meow. Meow Meow seems to be heavy influenced and inspired by Miami bass music from Miami, Florida. For the most part, the song heavily relies on bass over fast paced beats to back it up. Bass makes songs such as this one more memorable.
Meow Meow is a posse cut about how these 3 amigos get pussy every fucking day. They experiment with sex rap by making various references to sexuality. For instance oral sex and vaginal sex. (They say there is no need to get crazy however this is not the case.) Take swinging for example. Meow Meow is similar to Find'em, Fuck'em, & Flee by NWA. It's sex, sex, sex here everyday.
Wicked Bass is a heavy bass influenced song which itself heavily relies on bass for substance backup. Bass over Latin rap music in a funky mentality is one way to best describe Wicked Bass. The song Wicked Bass has a heavy influence of doodooism. Doodooism is heavy bass and heavy percussion with usage of reduced treble. The term was first coined by hip hop/rap duo Spooky G & Blackjack in 1994.
