The concept for the animated video produced for ‘Risk’ was inspired by how Fkj and Bas created the track, how the lyrics connected them creatively. Building on the idea from each track painting on the Ylang Ylang EP with the artist, Lossapardo.

"Risk" Lyrics:
(Chorus)
Risk
I never thought it’d be this
I’m jumpin’ out of your arms
I land and fall in a pit
Is this what they call the abyss?
I fought and clawed for an inch
Turned into miracle mile
I can recall when your lips
Used to contort into smiles
Bright as the sun that’s drawn an eclipse
I haven’t seen light in a while
Hasn’t been bright in a while
Even days you’re mad at me
You’re the one to give me clarity
A testament to your character
On your birthday you told me
To donate money to charity
You are made of sincerity
And got cake like Sara Lee
You tether me
When my stress starts burying me
You’re the one to take care of me
I’m so gone
That conclusion foregone
That confuses you
I’m wary of war zones
This tour long
I’m ready to go home
I’m ready for your bed
Can you comb my hair so it don’t dread
I just want my head rub
I don’t want the mixtape,
I just want the best of
I just wanna get grub
From our spot again
But do the odds work in our favor, stay down
Or skate town
Head low and face down
Like a kenneled greyhound
Doing God’s work in the devil’s playground
(Chorus)
Wish you picked up all my calls
I’ve been goin’ through withdrawals
Tryin’ to take the edge off
I need nova-cane
I been tryin’ to stand tall
I hope that you stand with me
You know all the greats fall
Shit is all the same
Hot as napalm
Next day come the rain
Gotta stay calm
Press play put my heart
In all of these songs
Display all of these wrongs
A part of me is gone
You are a gift in itself
A measure of wealth
The meaning of selfless
I place you over the shelf
Higher than pedestals
Over the belt that straddle
The waist on
Orion’s constellation
An observation of you and
Here comes the truth
I’m most overdue
I’m stuck over you
I’ve gone under
Living proof of God’s wonders
