"Karma" immediately grabs the listener's attention with its vibrant energy and innovative fusion of genres. The track's foundation lies in its jazz-inflected hip hop beats, which are both infectious and intricate. This rhythmic complexity is further enhanced by the soaring guitars that weave in and out, adding a layer of richness and depth to the overall soundscape. There’s a bit of a lofi feeling in the instrumentation allowing the rapping sections to pop, however with close focus, Cody has done it again with an inspired sound that still grabs your attention.
