MadeinTYO has shared his new single and video, “Thinking To Myself,” a reflection of a more mature MadeinTYO as an established artist and father. The single comes alongside a music video filmed in Tokyo, Japan, where he grew up in his teenage years and attended high school. At the time of the music video, MadeinTYO was the second U.S. artist to return to Tokyo, Japan, since the border was reopened post covid. The video features IMMA, a well-known Tokyo-based virtual Instagram model. MadeinTYO reminds us of his lyrical versatility and ability to bring us back to his earlier rapping days.

“Thinking To Myself” is his latest work since a collaborative album with UnoTheActivist, Yokohama, that was released at the end of 2021. The album reflects on how Japan has influenced them, and the project was named after a train station in Japan that MadeinTYO frequented growing up. The duo toured the album in February and March of this year around North America. The project followed his 2020 album Never Forgotten, which featured artists including J Balvin, Chance The Rapper, Smino, Toro y Moi, Young Nudy, Ty Dolla $ign, Cam’ron, LUCKI, BJ the Chicago Kid, Wiz Khalifa, and the late Chynna.
