Channeling a ‘do-it-my-way’ attitude, the group uses humor and swagger to illustrate their message. The title track ‘DUH!’ thrives on an old-school hip-hop base with lyrics that proclaim, “Where I sit, where I walk—that’s the right path.” The English slang term “Duh” is used to emphasize obvious self-assurance, aligning perfectly with the album’s overarching theme.
