Moose Wala admired Tupac Shakur and Nipsey Hussle from the beginning of his career, and in many of his songs he pays homage to the artists. On "The Last Ride", Sidhu describes how the artists lost their lives at young ages: "ਚੋੱਬਰ ਦੇ ਚਿਹਰੇ ਉੱਤੇ ਨੂਰ ਦੱਸਦਾ, ਨੀ ਇਹਦਾ ਉੱਠੂਗਾ ਜਵਾਨੀ 'ਚ ਜਨਾਜ਼ਾਂ ਮਿੱਠੀਏ" (Gurumukhi)/ "چوبر دے چہرے اتے نور دسدا، نی ایہدا اٹھوگا جوانی 'چ جنازاں مٹھیئے" (Shahmukhi) ("Everything is revealed in the eyes of the young boy that the funeral will take place in its youth"). He also discusses how their legacies lives in the hearts of their fans, adding more about his own personal life and the negative reception he received after some of his previous songs.
