The reigning queen of Japanese Hip-Hop, Awich, has released the highly anticipated music video for “Fear Us” together with RZA — the architect of the legendary hip-hop crew “Wu-Tang Clan” — and Brooklyn rapper Joey Bada$$.
The track is a standout from Awich’s album ‘Okinawan Wuman’ (released in November 2025 and fully produced by RZA), and is far more than a simple collaboration with international artists. It serves as a deeply conceptual message song where the historical backdrop of Okinawa intersects with the political and spiritual dimensions that hip-hop has carried since its origins.
In an era of growing global division and instability, the themes of “war, peace, and unity” embedded within this project resonate with powerful relevance. The track brings together Okinawa’s voice and the roots of American hip-hop, delivering a message that transcends cultures and borders.
Speaking on the song, Awich says: “Our unity is what they fear the most. “Fear Us” is an anthem against an era ruled by fear, and a powerful statement calling for “unity”.
Bringing together Okinawa, Brooklyn, and the spirit of Wu-Tang, this historic track stands at the forefront of global hip-hop.
