This release marks a significant collaboration, as it’s Big Sean’s first-ever with a Japanese artist. Known for his Grammy-nominated hits and multiple BET Awards, Big Sean brings a fresh and exciting dimension to “KAWASAKI,” blending his unique style with the high-energy sound ONE OR EIGHT fans have come to love.
“KAWASAKI” was originally released in June, but it quickly captured fans’ attention with its powerful choreography, motorcycle sounds, and heavy bass.

(known for tracks with Doja Cat), Bangs (also known for collaborations with Doja Cat), and Xansei (who worked with NLE Choppa). Rap lyrics were contributed by Lucien Parker, whose work has featured with big names like Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign.
