MIYACHI’s latest single, ‘GOING HOME’ featuring 11, brings a fresh twist to the classic Hip Hop narrative. While venturing to the big city to pursue success has long been a staple in Rap music, MIYACHI flips the script by reflecting on the importance of his roots and longing for home.
Over a smooth beat by Holly, ‘GOING HOME’ captures the artist’s deep-seated connection to family and the sacrifices made along the way. MIYACHI’s verses detail his relentless grind in the city, motivated by a dream to uplift his loved ones back home, while 11’s soothing chorus reassures that it’s OK to miss where you came from.
This introspective track builds on MIYACHI's reputation for blending his Japanese-American identity into his music. Since his 2018 breakout ‘WAKARIMASEN’, he’s made waves in both Japan and the U.S., with hits like the viral ‘Famima Rap’, collaborations with heavyweights like RADWIMPS and P-Lo, and even a performance at an NBA halftime show. All of this was achieved independently after an early stint with Sony Music, showcasing his work ethic and versatility.
‘GOING HOME’ adds yet another layer to MIYACHI’s story, embracing his roots even as he continues to thrive internationally, bridging cultures and speaking to the heart of the immigrant experience.
