The sight of Wakai's cover art of They Ain't Want Us is quite an eye-grabbing, astonishing experience that beautifully encapsulates the vibe of the project.

Wakai initially jumped onto our radar back in 2022 with his feature on "Starter Jacket" with Emmavie. Since then he's gone on to release 3 albums that have elegantly showcased his sonic evolution. One of the stand-out releases in They Ain't Want Us is "PARADIGM"- a track that feeds listeners food for thought with its stellar lyricism and hooks our attention with its impressive beat switches. The cries of the sax paired with the warmth of the vocals honestly add such a soulful charm to the release, complementing Wakai's deep yet compassionate demeanor.
