Edison Chen first started to experiment in Cantonese hip hop in his last two albums, 《Please Steal This Album》 and 《Hazy: The 144 Hour Project》. After spending three years to prepare this new release, Edison has shown more improvement in his style of music. With ten brand new tracks, this new album is full of Edison's thoughts, and it completely exposes different sides of him.His first single, "Remember Me?" 「記得我嗎」 (track 1), is written by Edison and Han Jin and arranged by DJ Tommy. To give the song more hip hop elements, the song uses Chinese instruments as an opening. That even makes it easier to listen to. The MV of "Impossible" 「不可能」 (track 10) was directed by youngen Chinese international director Vernie. In order to capture natural beauty of nature, the crew flew out to Africa to shoot the video.
Like many other hip hop artistes, most of the lyrics in the new album are used to promote himself and his fashion company, CLOT. From 2000's "EEG Edison" to today's youngest CEO in HK's entertainment industry, Edison has grown up to be an icon.

I personally liked the songs in this album better than his previous Cantonese album 《Hazy: The 144 Hour Project》. Firstly, Mandarin hip hop lyrics flow a lot better than Cantonese. Secondly, the lyrics are better because not every song is written by Edison. Lastly, the compositions are, like I said before, easier to listen to. One major flaw is that Edison needs to work on his Mandarin pronunciation.
