Although dancehall is not known for its use of conscious lyrics, Sean Paul鈥檚 only solo song Lion Heart 鈥搘hich includes an autobiographical touch 鈥� is a welcome exception. The change in tempo in the song is noticeable, but without a doubt effective in relation to the lyrics.

 The rumbling flow of his sung vocals over the snares and backing synths rattling give the highlight track 鈥淒anger Zone鈥� infectiously high energy. The album closes out with stellar songs 鈥淟ife We Living鈥� and 鈥淓verest,鈥� along with another remix of 2018鈥檚 鈥淚鈥檓 Sanctify鈥�.
