Knock Knockpirafu seijin

Pilafian – Knock Knock

One of the most talked-about rappers in the current MC battle scene is Pilaf Seijin.

He has a lot of haters, but just as many fans, and his streaming numbers are exceptional for a rapper.

Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is Knock Knock.

While it’s not a particularly low-range piece, the vocal line is simple, so even men with lower voices can sing it comfortably.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

It showcases Raisan’s new musical direction while perfectly harmonizing the unique personalities of each member.

Set to be included on their second album, “SOME BUDDY,” in February 2025, the song carefully weaves a message about the importance of self-love.

A collaboration video with Kasugai Seika’s “Mochira” is also out now, portraying both the strength to remain unaffected by others’ judgments and the delicate expressions we sometimes show, seen through reflections in a mirror.

As the lead track of “SOME BUDDY,” it captures Raisan’s appeal in full and is highly recommended for anyone who values staying true to themselves.

Like cheering yourself on in the mirror, it’s a wonderful song that lifts your spirits and keeps you looking forward.
