"Rise & Shine 2: Death of Y.G." features a gritty urban sound that encapsulates the raw energy of early 2010s rap. The production is characterized by heavy basslines and sharp snares, creating a driving rhythm that complements the aggressive lyrical delivery. Tracks like "Count It Up" and "Get Lo" showcase a blend of R&B-infused melodies with hard-hitting beats, while "Paranoid" introduces a more introspective vibe with its atmospheric layering. The tempo varies, maintaining a high-energy feel throughout, with standout moments in "Skirt On" and "Superman" that highlight the album's dynamic range. The distinctiveness lies in its juxtaposition of anger and vulnerability, wrapped in polished yet gritty sonic textures.
