It features collaborators worldwide, including Ghana's Larruso, Nigeria's Duncan Mighty, London's Amaria BB, Bonaire Island's IR Sais, and South Florida's Kaylan Arnold.

Speaking to Blossom Maduafokwa for the Grammys, Stonebwoy said,

"UP & RUNNIN6 is also very present, but it taps into the original African sounds that a lot of people have been missing. I decided to tap into that energy to bring back some originality and remind us of the times before."

He further argued that his direction stems from a realisation about the authenticity currently been longed for by music listeners.

"I think the feeling has been that Ghanaians would love to hear some authentic Ghanaian style coupled up with today's sound. I realized that the people needed some nostalgic feeling, an authentic feeling. And we can use "JEJEREJE" as a very typical example of "African sound." This is what the world wants to listen to right now, especially Africans globally."
