Featuring a sophisticated orchestral beat and melodic vocal prowess, “Suave” is a gripping hip-hop success from Cheeni. The track was inspired from a yearning for solace and escape that arose during his time overseas. A mellow, nostalgic brass tone moves warmly into a precise vocal entrancement, bolstered by string-laden mystique. “I’m sitting at a table of geniuses, tell what’s the problem?” Cheeni opens, seeking introspection and solutions amidst strife.

The “lot of wickedness,” insight propels subsequently, showing shades of Mac Miller in the tonal delivery. Defenses against would-be assassins are lyrically illustrated further, further invoking that sense of uncertainty — and a resulting desire for escape and solace. “I’m running alone, I’m building my throne,” Cheeni sings during a magnetic hook, switching from hip-hop ferocity into a soulful pop intrigue. A drive to “escape the world, filled with too much drama,” enthralls into the fading-out finale, satiating in its introspective messaging and vibe-forward hip-hop production.
