Alongside the announcement came a teaser video that highlights the visual ambition behind the project. The credits reveal a multimedia production that combines expert cinematography, editing, visual effects, and an original musical score—qualities more often seen in short films or visual albums rather than typical rap releases.

Tracks like “TENSION” and “MEMORIES” gave fans a taste of their chemistry and shared musical vision.
