Xiangyu has been played on NTS shows including Timetable, with Y△M△ first played on 16 October 2020.

Tokyo-based rapper Xiangyu has built a name for herself as one of the artists at the front of Japan’s hip-hop resurgence. Making the transition from fashion design to music in 2018, the artist came into her own in 2021 with the release of “Manhole”, her first track with producer Gimgigam. Continuing the collaborative relationship, the artist has gone on to release a string of well-received singles fusing inquisitive and wholesome lyrics with rapid-fire, bass-heavy beats, traversing house, drum and bass and dancehall.
