“‘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.

he 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”.
