Hmm... ENEL

Apple Music’s *The New Asia* playlist just slid 'A*' into the #7 spot, and I had to stop scrolling. That’s ENEL, the Wakayama-based spitter who shook up ABEMA’s *RAPSTAR 2025* and that *GUNSO LYFE STYLE* collab. Now he’s prepping his solo debut EP *MAXIM* for an August 26 release, and 'A*'—produced by Homunculu$—is the crazy lead single. It’s sharp, clinical, and proof that Japan’s rap underground is moving way too fast to ignore. Don't sleep.
