While You Were Away finds Wafeek experimenting with different sounds. If ERA was his effort to reconnect with the kind of hip hop that inspires him, While You Were Away is a peek into the process Feekee goes through between projects, ever searching for the right sonic landscape. The tracks range from pure 90's nostalgia to EDM influenced club music. As he puts it "these are the one off joints that just kind of happen while we're working towards something. Figured I'd put 'em together to share in the meanwhile. We're always creating."
