Kaneee: A ‘GENIUS’ on Tour
Kaneee, who captivated audiences with his first album ‘Remember Me?’ in 2024, is now pushing boundaries with his second album, ‘GENIUS’. This album, a collaborative effort with his long-time artist producer and partner Ray Inoue, is a testament to their belief in their unique musical expression. “Our way of making, feeling, and conveying music is definitely different from others,” Kaneee shares, “That’s why we want to test how far we can go with just our own power on this second album.”
‘GENIUS’ stands out for its diverse soundscapes within the hip-hop genre, consciously crafted to be unlike anything heard before. The album’s core theme revolves around impacting and saving lives through music, a mission deeply personal to Kaneee, who himself found solace in melodies. What makes ‘GENIUS’ even more remarkable is its bold production choice: every beat was created using ‘Type beats’ without external producers, a challenging yet ultimately rewarding journey for the duo.
