The track "It's A Lundun Thing" off the album, which sampled a 1997 song by Scott Garcia, became a local hit, being played in many clubs around London.
The album's other songs featured Tamera and Toddla T.[citation needed] Gio has cited Michael Jackson, Timbaland, Darkchild, Moodymann, Kaytranada, and Missy Elliott as major inspirations.
He mixes a lot of genres in his music, including garage, house, jungle, reggae, amapiano, funk, soul, jazz, and rap.
