Japanese rapper Skaai turns the volume all the way up on ‘Am I Sick?’, an explosive highlight from his debut album Gnarly. Here he locks into a full live-band arrangement that feels raw, untamed, and electrifying.

From the moment the guitars rip through the mix, ‘Am I Sick?’ feels like a jolt to the system. The track leans heavily into Rock, but Skaai’s precise rhymes keep it tethered firmly to Hip Hop. His flow darts across the live instrumentation, matching the guitars’ sharp edges and the drums’ relentless drive. Every bar hits like an adrenaline shot, and the energy he brings is infectious.

Released as part of Gnarly, the song fits his 12-song debut album’s mission to cement Skaai’s identity as an artist unafraid to experiment. Built with producers BadFriends, uin, and yuya saito, and sharpened through countless band-set rehearsals, the album showcases Skaai’s lyrical skills and evolution through genres.
