E-kanji

This song inspired by the addictive synth melodies of 2000s hip-hop and R&B, blending nostalgic influences with the heavy, modern sound of today's hip-hop.

NAOtheLAIZA's production combines those classic influences with a powerful contemporary sound.

Over the beat, Andre delivers confident, technically sharp verses reflecting a life of fulfillment and complete self-assurance. His performance carries a level of charisma and confidence that borders on narcissism, making every line feel intentional and commanding.

The hook came from a melody and lyrics Andre casually hummed during a studio session. Even the memorable phrase "E-kanji" ("feeling good") was born naturally in the moment.

Created entirely through an improvised studio session, with both the beat and lyrics developing organically, "E-kanji" captures the unique chemistry and musical talent shared by Andre and NAOtheLAIZA.

The track is featured on ''I'm Ready'', the collaborative EP by Andre of D.R.C. and producer/engineer NAOtheLAIZA, who has worked on numerous projects across Japan's hip-hop scene.
