content
Musically, the content is partly based on the predecessor . The performers greatly enhance themselves, stylize themselves as rich and sometimes make threats of violence against an indefinite "you". The content of the song Pain & Gain is based on the film of the same name . With Sillis there is a club song on the sampler. In ACAB and prison in prison out , the topics of arrest and correctional facility are dealt with. Because they do not know what they are doing , it is about religion and divine grace . In addition, the chorus of the songs Sls , Mr. Officer and Direction of sunlight is sung with automatic pitch correction .
background
Weeks after the release of the third sampler, Masculine Mixtape Vol. 3 , it was announced that a mixtape by the rapper Jihad would be published under the title Street Dreamers .

Shortly after the sampler was published, Fler announced that he had received a legal letter from Animus with financial claims .
