Lyric

Eleven years after releasing his legendary 2014 album LXVE at the age of 23, before founding his independent team Gohanatsu--Jinmenusagi is set to drop its official sequel, ALXVE (pronounced "Alive"), in November 2025.

Building on the storytelling concept of the original, ALXVE unfolds like an anthology film, guiding listeners toward a deeper message. The youthful darkness of the past has evolved into the struggles of adulthood, exploring themes of family, happiness, loss, and growth with raw honesty and lyrical precision.

With a lineup of top producers spanning generations, the album features rich, emotional beats that elevate Jinmenusagi's rap to new heights. As LEEYVNG, he advances his self-production, experimenting not only with boom bap and trap but also with newer sounds like jerk drill and drum'n'bass. Featuring collaborations with Japanese rap legends, Jinmenusagi delivers some of his most powerful performances to date.

Mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Mike Bozzi--known for his work with Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino--ALXVE stands as a benchmark for the next 20 years of Japanese hip-hop.
