About

Wild Water Kingdom features production from Harry Fraud, Keyboard Kid, Crookers, Beautiful Lou, Le1f, and Lushlife.[9] Guests on Wild Water Kingdom include Childish Gambino and Lakutis.[10] Heems contrasted the style of Wild Water Kingdom with that of Nehru Jackets, noting that on Nehru Jackets, "the beats were aggressive and the bars were laid back. This time, the beats are a little laid back and the bars are aggressive."[11]
