SINGAPORE — Just last week, KAMIYADA+ has released ‘The Metal In Me’ EP as well as the video for the EP’s focus track, “Fucking With My Head”. Fans can watch the new music video and stream the EP here now online.
“’The Metal In Me’ is an experimental project that explores exaggerated themes about raw energy, human emotions, and natural human abilities intertwined with its own character & cinematic plot,” KAMIYADA+ explains. This is the multi-genre artist’s first full EP to be released since his signing with Hopeless Records in January 2021.
The stage name of Jovani Duncan, KAMIYADA+ recently announced his signing to Hopeless Records. Previously hailed by COMPLEX for his “explosive” fury, KAMIYADA+ swirls vast and varied influences into a bludgeoning, genre-less sound that’s all at once modern and progressive.
He recently released the song and music video for “Metal In Me”. “From the first verse, I knew ‘Metal In Me’ was going to be an important song,” says Duncan, noting much of the song came from off-the-cuff freestyles. “It gave me confidence. It’s not a cocky song, but I felt really powerful and free.”
That infinite possibility is represented proudly in the plus sign adorning KAMIYADA+’s stage name, signifying the sense of new and next he’s always chasing – not only through his music, but his multisensory, cross-platform persona that extends into music videos, merchandise, and his renowned performances around the world in cities like London and Tokyo.
Prior to signing to Hopeless Records, KAMIYADA+ self-released records like 2016’s ‘Static Depression’ and 2020’s ‘Deathtrap+++2’, and his work through international hip-hop collective The Midnight Society, which he founded alongside British producer The Virus and Antidote.
“I’m into darker sh*t,” proclaims Duncan, “I want to use darkness to tell cool stories”.
