The first single “Show Me Whatcha Got” is a laid back groove track about how people aren't always upfront with others. Another track to look out for is “The Feature” in which Liang collaborates with James Baum of “Skirts” fame. The EP also contains the track “Silver Linings” that can be found on Oops! Asia 's tsunami-relief compilation “Through The Rain”. “Silver Linings” has already received good listener response on Xfresh FM hitting number 1 on the Xfresh FM 10 & Carta 20 charts. His current single “Show Me Whatcha Got” hit number 1 on Hitz.fm's Malaysian English Top 10 charts and also being making its presence felt on Hitz.fm's Top 30 chart. As a result Liang has already appeared on Hitz.fm with Serena C and also in a Hitz.tv Christmas Eve special. A music video for “Show Me Whatcha Got” has just been completed and is due to make its rounds on local TV as well. “8oz of Soul” is a collaborative effort of many names in the local music industry and features the involvement of luminaries such as producer Nick Lee, JD of Pop Shuvit & the “Maestro of Mix” in the local club scene Jungle Jerry.
