The album features early hip-hop music, and is an important document of post-WWII urban black America. Most of the music seems to be improvised, features spoken words jams on performed on homemade percussion instruments ,sticks and bongos. Other tracks feature the boys just singing and shouting, almost in a spoken word way. One of the tracks on the album is Why Can't I Get it Too
If I would be a boy like her
I would never knock at door
Because he love her
Why can't I get it too?
