You haven’t even tried (doing it).hannya
This is a track by the skilled rapper Hannya.
Released in July 2025, it’s included on his fifteenth album, “Last Answer.” The highlight is the fusion of a hard-hitting beat that revives the feel of ’90s hip-hop with a mellow sound featuring NAOtheLAIZA.
The lyrics depict a soul-deep cry: “Don’t give up before you’ve even tried.” It urges listeners not to be swayed by negative voices around them and insists that life can change by overcoming the walls in front of you.
It’s a song you should hear when your knees shake before a new challenge or when you need the courage to face adversity.

MOGURA -Barefoot-hannya
A bittersweet, hard-edged track that reflects the harsh realities of the city.
Released digitally on January 10, 2025, the song drew attention as the tie-in for the ABEMA original drama “Metropolitan Police Department Narcotics Control Division MOGURA.” The rap woven by Hannya and the others balances rawness with lyricism, while the sound carries a somewhat inorganic atmosphere.
Its real lyrics, focused on society’s darker side, are sure to resonate deeply.
When you want to confront contradictions and inner conflict, this might be the song for you.
Family preceptshannya
Hannya, a rapper who has produced numerous songs themed around peace and anti-war and reigned as the first final boss on the variety show Freestyle Dungeon.
The track Kakun (Family Precepts) from his 10th album Hanashi Hanbun features a warm ambiance with tight strings that really stick in your ears.
The rap progresses at a steady tone, making it easy to perform, and since there are no English lyrics, it’s approachable even for beginners.
However, faster phrases come in midway, so be careful not to get left behind and make sure to keep your dynamics in mind as you rap.
You’re not here.hannya
Hannya, known for serving as the final boss on Freestyle Dungeon and for his successful Budokan live show, is a figure every hip-hop fan knows.

The music video seems to be a parody of a variety show segment, and including his persona and lyrics, it’s hilarious (lol).
