Prominent hip-hop siblings LANA and LEX have debuted their latest collaborative single, ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’. This new release marks their second joint effort following the track ‘AKARUIHEYA’, made in collaboration with POP YOURS, Japan’s biggest hip-hop festival.
‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ tackles emotional frustration and personal conflict, reflecting themes of isolation and the need for space. The song’s title and lyrics capture these struggles, continuing the siblings’ focus on deep and introspective subjects in their music.
Accompanying the single is a music video that premiered on the same day as the release. Featuring vibrant visuals and thematic elements, the video shows LANA and LEX performing in a uniquely decorated dining setting within a confined space, echoing the song’s themes of emotional struggle and personal boundaries.
LANA and LEX, known for their individual successes, continue to make significant strides in the Japanese hip-hop scene. Their previous track, ‘AKARUIHEYA’, pulled in over 4.5 million streams on Spotify and served as a festival highlight when the pair performed the track live for the first time at POP YOURS 2024.
