LIBRO Drops Soulful New Album “Nakaima”

LIBRO just came back swingin’ with his latest drop “Nakaima”, and trust—it’s soul medicine. After a 4-year hiatus since Naorai, this 10-track piece dropped on May 15 (CD version comin’ May 21), and it hits deep. All self-produced, mixed, and arranged, LIBRO flexes total control over the sonic narrative, like only an OG can.

The word Nakaima is mad poetic—it means “the now within” or “the sacred present.” This whole record breathes with that concept: stay grounded, don’t get trapped in nostalgia or fear of what’s next. From the first track “Unmei ga Kimi ni Ai ni Kita” (“Destiny Came To Meet You”), you already know you’re in for a heartfelt journey.

And the features? Fire. You got DAG FORCE on “Ibuki,” blowin’ truth into the mic. BES rips on “Ha” with raw emotion. And of course, Chinza Dopeness pulls up on the title track like a jazz ninja from another dimension. This ain’t just boom bap—it’s existential boombox philosophy.

LIBRO’s voice is weathered, humble, grounded—but that’s what makes it hit harder. If you’re lookin’ for fast food trap, this ain’t it. Nakaima is for the grown heads, the seekers, the ones livin’ moment by moment in this messy, holy chaos.

LIBRO’s Nakaima just dropped—pure soulcraft for the moment-livin’ heads. Dopeness with DAG, Chinza & more.
