Background[edit]

Kim Ximya is a member of XXX, and D. Sanders is a former Top Dawg Entertainment record producer.[1] They had also released collaboration singles Chamber and Manual before the release of mixtapes.[2] The track Flowers was made into a music video and featured E Sens in a cameo.[3] The album's name is derived from the whiskey moonshine, which was made in Tennessee during the prohibition in the United States.[4]

Rhythmer[6]

Lee Jinseok of Rhythmer described the album as a "one MC 1 producer" format album that created a structured work without hurting each other's style.[6] The member of the selection committee for the 2018 Korean Music Awards Nam Seonghoon evaluated Kim Ximya's lyrics as lyrics that show superiority and emptiness, and described D. Sanders' production as "It creates an excellent sound while bringing out the vintage texture, and ironically, it does not lose its sophisticated style."[7]
