After performing his first production set at the "Beats on Leaps" event in Fitchburg (hosted by Coff33 Corp), an extremely positive reception was given to AV-8's craft on the spot. This made him have the spontaneous decision to recreate what he did there for everybody to hear; whether they were in attendance for that memorable moment or for them to experience the first time!
What made this set special was how cohesive it flowed from start to finish, which wasn't coincidental; AV-8 went there with a direction he had in mind for the soundscape. Starting off with the darker & energetic production that contains a mixture of unique synthesized sounds fused with classic-sounding east coast hip hop, it slowly transitions into a more elegant & soothing background. This was supposed to illustrate going from chaos to peace, from dark to light, from aggressive to tranquility. It's a theme that is common on the albums with him rapping, so it made sense to give that experience through solely the music.
